THIS is the story of a man. Whether driving his schooner through a lake storm, or quelling a lumber-yard mutiny, or sacrificing his love for the sake of a friend, Hunch Badeau is every inch a man.
He doesn’t preach, but unconsciously, and prompted simply by the bigness of his heart, he exemplifies a nobility which does the reader good. Many things happen in this story. Readers will like and they will remember Hunch Badeau.

[3] These letters are republished by the willing permission of Mr. W. R. Hearst, for whose papers they were written from Kishineff and elsewhere. They have, of course, undergone a necessary revision.
It is believed that by including these letters as they were originally written, with only such changes as were necessary to a permanent form, a more vivid realisation of the scenes of the tragedy has been afforded than would have been possible if their facts alone had been incorporated with the body of the narrative.
