    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

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.

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, July 1, 2012)
    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. I need scarcely add that tlie names of these writers are Goethe and Lesaing in the German, and Tliackeray and George Eliot in the English. I have not attempted to imitate them, for we all know iliat they are inimitiible, but I have made a careful study of tlieir methods, and have endeavored to put them uilo use in writing this story. The moment a writer adopts life-like methods, and begins to paint hia picture with only the colors that life admits, the critics cry, You have no plot. Well, then, I will admit in the beginning I have no plot. In fact, I have tried hard to avoid having a plot, for, after living thirty odd years among different people on this globe, I have yet to find one single plot in human life according to tlie idea of the fashionable novel. 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.)

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Jan. 4, 2016)
    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”. Also in this BookOur titles cover authors from a wide range of literary genres, including novelists, playwrights, poets, historians, essayists, editors, biographers, screenwriters, satirists, librettists, lyricists, journalists, columnists, fiction and non-fiction writers, essayists, translators, and critics.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
