Ten Nights in a Bar Room is a novel written by T.S. Arthur. The story is set in a small American town and revolves around a man named Joe Morgan, who owns a bar. The novel explores the negative effects of alcoholism on individuals and their families. The story begins with a group of men gathering at Morgan's bar for a night of drinking and gambling. As the night progresses, the men become increasingly drunk and rowdy. One of the men, Frank Slade, becomes so drunk that he loses all of his money and is unable to pay his debts. The next day, Slade's wife and daughter arrive at the bar to plead with Morgan to forgive Slade's debts. Morgan, who is also an alcoholic, refuses to forgive the debts and instead encourages Slade to continue drinking and gambling. As the story unfolds, the negative effects of alcoholism become increasingly apparent. Slade's wife and daughter are forced to leave town to escape the shame and poverty brought on by Slade's addiction. Morgan's own family is torn apart by his drinking, and he eventually loses everything he owns. The novel serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of alcoholism and the importance of family and community support in overcoming addiction.""Ah! is this you?"" said he, as I came near to him, speaking thickly, and getting up with a heavy motion. I now recognized the altered person of Simon Slade. On looking at him closer, I saw that the eye which I had thought only shut was in fact destroyed. How vividly, now, uprose in imagination the scenes I had witnessed during my last night in his bar-room; the night when a brutal mob, whom he had inebriated with liquor, came near murdering him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
