By Major J. B. Pond.
READ WHAT IS SAID OF IT.
"It is distinctly one of the most interesting books of the year from any point of view."—Rochester Sunday Herald.
"It is many a day since I have read so fascinating a book of reminiscences. Many a day—or perhaps I should have said a 'night'—for this volume has given me delight during hours, when, according to the laws of nature, I should have been asleep."—Neweil Dwight Hillis.
"One of the most simple, naive and straightforward books ever written. It fairly reeks with personality.... No man living has had such interesting association with so many interesting people."—Home Journal.
"Adorned by many pictures, never before published."—Detroit Journal.
"Possesses unparalleled attractions."—Boston Journal.
"Major Pond goes deep into his subject, tarnishing pen-portraits that are admirably clear and graphic."—The Mail and Express.
The whole book, stuffed as it is with anecdotes and extracts from personal letters, is marvelously interesting."—Boston Transcript.
"All the world loves a teller of stories, and readers will surely take approvingly to the man who gives them so much of entertaining reading as is found in Major Pond's 600 pages of bright personal description."—N. Y. Times.
