Description
Excerpt from Looking Backward
Ihave no apology to offer for what I have to say in the pages of this book, because the stories of the origin of the Red Cross and other organiza tions with which I have been connected are of historical interest to the members of those societies in particular and may be interesting to the public.
It seems to me that it is a kind of duty one owes, to leave something behind one, ere one goes hence, so that future generations may know that we, of this generation, worked for the future as well as for the present, and that we expect them to con tinne to build on the foundations we have laid.
I have had doubts of my ability to carry this work through to completion, but I have been constantly encouraged by my wife to persevere; to this and to her criticism, I owe much.
