Excerpt from Beside the BoweryIt has, therefore, been the aim of the author in the sketches which follow to picture as accurately as possible a few of the men and women whom she knew and loved, because it is in their lives that those who knew her can see her as she truly was, and it is in the mirror of their deeds and lives alone that those who never knew her may hope to find a true image of her spirit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
