This Is A New Release Of The Original 1906 Edition.
1905. Novelist whose career began in the greeting card business.
The book begins: Dr. Lavendar and Goliath had toiled up the hill to
call on old Mr. Benjamin Wright; when they jogged back in the late
afternoon it was with the peculiar complacency which follows the
doing of a disagreeable duty. Goliath had not like climbing the
hill, for a heavy rain in the morning had turned the clay to stiff
mud, and Dr. Lavendar had not liked calling on Benjamin Wright. See
other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
1906. Davis was an American journalist and novelist who covered
wars all over the world. His vivid accounts made him one of the
leading reporters of his day. Captain Macklin begins: It may seem
presumptuous that so young a man as myself should propose to write
his life and memoirs, for, as a rule, one waits until he has
accomplished something in the world, or until he has reached old
age, before he ventures to tell of the times in which he has lived,
and of his part in them. But the profession to which I belong,
which is that of a soldier, and which is the noblest profession a
man can follow, is a hazardous one, and were I to delay until
tomorrow to write down what I have seen and done, these memoirs
might never be written, for, such being the fortune of war,
tomorrow might not come. See other titles by this author available
