Zi I PREFACE. In wiiting this book the author has had but one desire, to give a correct and truthful picture of life upon the large cotton jilaalatious lying upon the Mississippi river. After many years study of the German and English literatui e, he has become convinced that two writers in German and two in English Btiiiid head and Hhoulders above the rtst,asn Titers of romance, simply hecuuse they are able to paint human life just as human heinga live it, without giving highly overwrought plots and seneational acting, which nobody ever yet saw iu real life.

Life is notlivedaflerthat manner at all. Thingsdo not turn out to please us all, not by long odds. A nd, as for tiie virtuous all being rewarded, and everybody being made happy these things never occur save in the next world and In tlia pages of novels that have plots to them. Human life is quite a diffirent thing, where the failui es ai Cin greater proportion than the successes, and where things ftui woefully to turn out in a manner to please us all. Well, then, just so far as life justified it I have given a plot, and no further but I huve given yo(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Excerpt from A Prince of Good Fellows: A Picture From LifeIt is necessary to make a few remarks in regard to the char acters in the book, since in A Woman of New Orleans the characters were taken from life, a fact which caused no little trouble. To save all such trouble here, we shall state exactly the truth in regard to the characters in the present book. General Lane, Ethel, Major Rankin and wife and his three daughters, are all products of the author's imagination.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
