This Is A New Release Of The Original 1905 Edition.
This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of
this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
1905. The Log of the Water Wagon was compiled from memoranda found
in a floating milk bottle with a patent stopper, flung overboard
just before the good ship Lithia foundered in a fearful simoom off
White Rock Point. The notes, penciled in a trembling hand, on the
backs of blank temperance pledges, IOUs, and wine lists, were
barely legible, testifying to the fearful condition of the unknown
writer's tongue, manifestly incapable of moistening the pencil. The
editors have preserved, as far as possible, the spirit and literary
style of the Log keeper, whose identity is an interesting
conjecture. His fate, and that of his fellow passengers, is
shrouded in mystery.
