Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Life Has Taught Me A book, without a title, would seem as odd as the sentiments expressed in this little book, and, strange to say, the writer never thought of a title until the young lady who is typewriting and correcting the mistakes, asked me what title I had selected for my book. Well, a seventy-two year old amateur writer is liable to get out of line and fall short. I suppose a book without some name would be like a ship without a rudder, drifting and calling for a tow line of some friend to pull it in. But, friends, this little sketch is not expected to go beyond those who know the writer and will not be sold unless it might be to help some one who needs help, but I do not flatter myself that it would keep any one from starving. I might call it, "My Opinions;" but who cares for our opinions? We all have them. Are they worth reading? I could call it, "My Experiences in the West" Such are yet galore. Old Father Wiggins at the Post Office can give them out by the yard, colored with hardships and narrow escapes from Indians. Captain Billy Wise is on tap at any time to be drawn out on long marches, starvation and eternal vigilance to save his scalp. Dave Cook, the pioneer detective and sheriff, is a living store-house of Western adventure. So a plain citizen that never held any office, or shouldered a musket has very little to attract attention in these days of mental strain that is upon our American people.
