Excerpt from Pluck Being a Faithful Narrative of the Fortunes of a Little Greenhorn in America While to some the story may seem mere fiction, there are hundreds of thousands still living whom, if it should chance to meet their eye, it would be impos sible to convince that it is other than a truthful nar rative of facts - as indeed it is - the like of which they have themselves in part experienced or witnessed.

If I have it is but natural, for we are all prone to forget the little faults and re menber only the good traits of admirable men.
