Author Description

Excerpt from The American Claimant: And Other Stories and Sketches NO weather will be found in this book. This is an attempt to pull a book through without weather. It being the first attempt of the kind in fictitious litera ture, it may prove a failure, but it seemed worth the while of some dare-devil person to try it, and the author was in just the mood.
