At The Sign Of The Red Swan Classic Reprint

Excerpt from At the Sign of the Red Swan If the tale I am about to tell, the story of my life and adventures, shall be the means of clearing my fair name and of interesting those outside the circle of my friends, I am glad to give the world the following facts, so varied, so unusual. And I set them down the more willingly in the hope that those who follow me along life's way will not judge their fellow men without proof positive. I have Often wondered whether it would be worth while entirely to portray these remarkable happen ings. I hesitate to trespass upon the credulity of the reader, yet, perhaps, this story of the life of an humble and grateful human being will be of benefit to others.
