Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rest, on the Cross
Should these lines ever meet the eyes of the young when the hand that has traced them lies powerless, let me hope that the feelings they develop, and the struggles they depict, may not be without their use. TO the more mature this brief history will not be wholly unsuggestive. While to those newer to the world and its startling and strange truths stranger than fiction - these deeply-shadowed pictures may possibly seem unlike the existing and breathing realities of life they represent, there are many among the elder wayfarers in its rugged paths who will behold, in such portraiture, the sterner fea tures Of their own past fortunes limned anew.
