Author Description

Excerpt from The Great War Syndicate, Etc <p>All that night, at every point in the United States which was reached by telegraph, there burnt a smo thered fire, and the next morning, when the regu lar and extra editions of the newspapers were poured out upon the land, the fire burst into a roaring blaze. From lakes to gulf, from ocean to ocean, on mountain and plain, in city and prairie, it roared and blazed. Parties, sections, politics, were all forgotten. Every American formed part of an electric system - the same fire ashed into every soul. No matter what might be thought on the morrow, or in the coming days which might bring better understanding, this day the unreasoning fire blazed and roared. <p>With morning newspapers in their hands, men rushed from the breakfast-tables into the streets to meet their fellow-men. What was it that they should do? <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
