Excerpt from The Sokoki TrailThe man of scholarly inclination, especially if he have the tastes of the antiquarian, and many another who finds time to indulge in casual research, follows with a like enthusiasm and a like p'ertinacity the thread of tradition, that ¿owing down the stream of the accumulating years is lost in the great flood of accumulating historic events that are as responsive to the touch of To-day. Like the trained and sensitized finger tips of the physician, they are counting the beats of a pulse that began its iterations with the as yet unlocated advent of Time, to cease only when the history of men's achievements shall cease to be written.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
