Excerpt from Echoes From the Glen in Divers KeysI am sending this little volume out, more than partly at the solicitations of my friends. That does not appear a very modest and honorable salutation for my readers. Nevertheless it is true, and I trust those kind friends may help to bear the misfortunes and failures which may befall its pathway.The Echoes in Divers Keys have been written from boyhood up: through the time of battles into the quietude of plantation life, long intervals some times intervening, which may perhaps account in a measure for the repetition of style and vocabulary.Let me say that I sincerely hope that those who may chance upon the book may find a bit of restful melody and also a scrap of homely merriment in some of its pages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
