Excerpt from Two Years at Hillsboro' The writer is fully aware of the many defects in this her first book, but if the readers of Two Years at Hillsboro' will kindly pardon all mis takes, however glaring they may be, she will feel deeply indebted to them. As it may make the book more interesting to the majority of its readers, the writer will also say that a few of the characters are real, living, breath ing beings, and that some of the incidents recorded therein actually happened: the Eastern Trip being a fac - simile of one that the writer took, and the description of the night spent at the Vermont Hotel, however absurd and. Improbable it may appear, is not in the least exaggerated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
