Description
Excerpt from Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the Story of His Life
The preparation of a volume which should tell brie?y and simply the story of Colonel Higginson''s life, and as nearly as possible in his own words, has involved examining and sifting a great mass of manuscripts. Happily he shared with his contem poraries a reluctance, not felt by the present gener ation, to destroy letters, journals, or memoranda. To those who have assisted my difficult task by the loan of letters and the contribution of personal memories, cordial thanks are due; and no less to the unknown friends who have written to signify their interest and say Godspeed. Let me also express warm gratitude to those literary friends of Colonel Higginson whose sympathy, advice, and criticism.
