What Happened During One Man''s Lifetime, 1840-1920: A Review of Some Great, Near Great and Little Events (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from What Happened During One Man's Lifetime, 1840-1920: A Review of Some Great, Near Great and Little Events
This extraordinarily varied experience through a long life was not all of the author's equipment for his task. He engaged in a variety of occupations, in positions of responsibility always, from the time he was fourteen years old, and thereby acquired a keen insight into the essentials of social organization as distinguished from the merely superficial or personal. The appeals of friends to put in interesting personal details he yielded to only when those details illustrated conditions which constituted the very warp and woof of life at that time. The result is a historical and sociological exhibit, covering especially the life of the Middle West during the third quarter of thenineteenth century, the value of which will be realized only when that life shall have receded so far into the past as to leave no living representatives who can tell of it by word of mouth.
