Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from After Many Years: And Other Sketches HE sat in the smoking compartment of a Pullman, chewing the end of an expensive perfecto - a large man of perhaps five and forty. The type that gives one the impression of manual work and privation in early years and luxury and leisure in later life. The train stopped at a small station where the principal citizens stood about the platform in copper-riveted overalls scratching their shins with their boot-heels. "I was reared in just such a place," he said. "In a central Indiana town consisting of a drab depot, a red elevator, a hog-chute and a saw-mill, all adjoining a trunk-line railroad track; a public square, a court-house in the center, surrounded by stores of an agricultural district - the hub of the community, with four streets extending in as many directions on which the abodes of man and beast became further apart till they diminished to open roads with green pastures on either side.
