Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wandering Yankee: Or, the Fun of Seeing Canada When one reaches a new country, one is not long therein until one learns who are the great men of that country. There will be in every city, local celebrities, men whom all accord the place of honor, but whose very names are often unknown outside the city limits. Again there are men whose names are known to the furthest corners of the land - known but not honored. Still, again, there may be a man whose very name brings a pleasing throb to the hearts of the humblest, - to the very boundaries of the Dominion. Go where you may, seek out the humble or the proud, and each will vie with the other in doing a loving homage to this man of worth. When I thought to write of Montreal, I instinctively thought of the man to whom I wished to dedicate my work; but I could scarcely hope to be granted the honor, and yet I would ask the honor. Not because of his wealth or title - I care for neither; but because he was a man whose principles I could admire; because he was a man whom all his fellow men could love. I asked that honor. I asked to be allowed to dedicate my work to him. "Grant me the privilege," I wrote, "it will help me put forth my best efforts." In the most pleasing letter I have ever received, he replied, "I gladly accede to your request." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
