Excerpt from Olden Times in ColoradoOur Author was a competent editorial writer, hence his style is simple and impressive. What he knows he knows thoroughly, and he expresses himself clearly and logically. This is why his Book is so delightful to read. When we think of the exactions of newspaperdom, is it any wonder that so few editors rise above the level of the crowd that they are compelled to patronize to exist at all?Davis was wise but not servile. Had he learned to bend the pregnant hinges of the knee, he would surely have been Governor of his State, or installed in some other high office within the power of the politicians. Though a loyal partisan, if not a stubborn one, he fought crooked methods and crooks within his party fully as sincerely and ably as those men and measures he was opposed to.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
