Synopsis
Excerpt from My Roving Life, 1895, Vol. 2: A Diary of Travels and Adventures by Sea and Land, During Peace and War
This account of the roving portion of my life is the result of a desire on the part of each of my children to possess a copy of my diaries kept during my wanderings. When I concluded at the age of sixty-six years to put my diary into type I thought I would preface it with a few pages of my ancestral record. That record, after three years of search, filled nearly two-hundred pages, which I put into a separate work on The Duncan Stuart Family; Our Branch and Its Connections. In that I gave a short account of other por tions of my life, reserving to these volumes an account of my roamings. The typography and press-work have been my own work (except the press-work of the half-tones, as my little 4x6 press had not the requisite strength for a half tone impression.) Now that the work is finished'i am past seventy years old, land I trust that the typography will meet lenient criticism from the reader on that score. Trusting that my mistakes in life may be avoided by my descendants I present this record to them with my love.
