About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”.

EXPLANATORY PREFACE. The writer of these lines has always felt the thrill of the words Black Forest. As a small boy he used to gaze at the bold outlines of the Allegheny Mountains, on the opposite side of the broad valley from the old fashioned home where he spent most of his time, which formed the southern boundary of the vast regions of hemlock, spruce and pine. All kinds of visions flashed through his mind, dreams of strang places, of people, of Indians, of outlaws, of witches, ghosts lumbermen, wild beasts and birds, ... All that must inhabit this wilderness for more definite information he took to inquiring of the old peoplc and strangers how the Rlack Forest really looked, how big it was and who lived there. The general replies were that it as a vast domain of enormous trees, mostly evergreens, that it was sixty miles from east to west, and forty miles from north to south, that hunters, lumbermen and some farmers lived in it, aIso many bears and deer, a few panther, and that until a few years pre-iody there had been wolves, elks and countless flock of wild pigeons. As the result of this information a great longing arose in him to visit the Ulaek Forest, to see it with actual vision, rather than with the eye of faith.........
