Excerpt from The Third CircleHe was a hero to us all in those days, as he will ever remain a heroic memory - that unique product of our Western soil, killed, for some hid den purpose of the gods, before the time of full blossom. He had gone East but a year since to publish the earliest in his succession of rugged, virile novels - Moran of the Lady Letty, Mc Teague, Blix, A Man's Woman, The Oc topus, and The Pit. The East was just begin ning to learn that he was great; we had known it long before. With a special interest, then, did I, his humble cub successor as sub editor and sole staff writer, follow that prentice work of his from the period of his first brief Sketches, through the period of rough, brilliant short stories hewed out Of our life in the Port of Adventures, to the peri od of that first serial which brought him into his own.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
