Excerpt from Uniac, His Life, Struggle, and FallFrom that dark day, I, with other friends, followed him, trying to help him in his struggles against the terri ble power of appetite; and after we had the joy of see ing him stand up once more in all the strength of his true manhood, I became his constant companion until his sad death.A few weeks after this event, I became convinced that the story of his life ought to go before the world, believing that if read by the young men of the country it would do good. I conferred with other personal friends and with prominent temperance men, and all agreed as to the importance of having it accomplished. With many misgivings in regard to my ability to do justice to the subject, and with a prayer to God for assistance, I began the work.I have endeavored to trace his eventful life with fidelity to truth; and, as as far as possible, have gathered from his own words the thread of his life's struggle, and have presented thrilling and eloquent extracts from his writings and best speeches, which show the man better than any words of mine. In explanation of the long delay in the appearance of this work, we wish to state that it was owing to the necessary and unavoidable waiting for some matters absolutely essential to the completion of the same. And we beg, also, to apologize for the many errors -of matter and manner herein contained.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
