Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Girl Who Disappeared In the past few years there has been much publicity and discussion concerning white slavery. However, there are undoubtedly many persons who are only vaguely acquainted with it and know little of the developments which have brought this subject prominently before the people. Therefore, in order that the following pages may be clearly understood it might be well to explain that the story of this book is a composite historical exposition of actual cases which came to my attention as a prosecutor. In 1906 before becoming an Assistant State´s Attorney in Chicago, Illinois, I met "the girl who disappeared." As a state prosecutor I became engrossed in exposing this traffic in girls and women and fortunately convicted many of those engaged in that business. Later when I resigned from the office of the state´s attorney I became a special prosecutor, representing a group of influential Chicago business men, and continued a campaign against the exploiters of manhood and womanhood. It was at this time that I engaged the services of the detective who is mentioned throughout the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
