Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In the Alamo
Among the tricks which I learned was to bow to pride and to pat vanity upon the back; and I discovered that nearly every man who takes an interest in politics believes that he can successfully manage a campaign. Politi eiaus have made themselves familiar, and therefore their wisdom is looked upon by the ignorant and the fawning with a certain degree of contempt. But we all of us know that without the experience of politics it would be almost impossible for a man to be a prae tical statesman.
