Description
Excerpt from The Rifleman: Or Adventures of Percy Blake
IT is customary, 1 believe, with authors who have but little to relate, to press into their service every possible resource of the literary art that, by the charm of their eloquence, they may hide the paucity of their material. The contrary, however, being my case I trust the reader will be content to receive a plain, unvarnished tale of military life, instead of a ?owing dissertation de omnibus rebus, which I have neither ability nor inclination to cook up for his amusement.
