John Henry Smith: A Humorous Romance of Outdoor Life (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from John Henry Smith: A Humorous Romance of Outdoor Life

John Henry Smith has requested me to revise and edit his diary, and, to use his own expression, See if I can make some kind of a book from it. It was his idea that I should eliminate certain marked passages, and disguise others, so as to conceal the identity of the originals. Since Mr. Smith is abroad I can do as I please. Aside from renaming his characters, I have left them exactly as he has drawn them. This may lead him to do his own editing in the future.
