Description
Excerpt from The Reminiscences of Carl Schurz: 1863-1869; With a Sketch of His Life and Public Services From 1869 to 1906
IN 1904, when Mr. Schurz was nearing the end of the second volume, and was hoping to finish the first draft of the third volume in a year or two, he consented to the serial publication of parts of what he had written. The selection, special alteration and proof-reading of these rapidly ap pearing parts, and also the preparation of the first volume for the press these and many incidental matters claimed the right of way and much impeded his progress with the third volume. When his work was abruptly terminated he had reached only the first problems of Grant''s administration and had barely passed the threshold of his important services in the Senate. His manuscript is printed as he left it. Had he lived to complete his third volume, in which he hoped to reach at least the end of Hayes'' administra tion, it would doubtless have been revised and condensed.
