Excerpt from The Bishop: Being Some Account of His Strange Adventures on the Plains

Most of the incidents hereinafter related are literally true. Notably is this so of "The Forgiveness of Creegan" and "The Bishop and the Fool." I cast no discredit upon the others by thus particularizing, but these two are so incredible that I am fain to give the specific assurance lest they be accounted efforts of the imagination - which would be a pity. Creegan's unheard-of action and the results of King's strange baptism are too remarkable and valuable for any doubt as to their reality to be allowed to remain undispelled. There are many persons who will recognize them under the names I have given them.
