Excerpt from A California Conspiracy: With New York Episodes "Truth crushed to earth will rise again, The eternal years of God are hers, While error, writhing in her chains, Will die among her worshippers." Inasmuch as the following pages will involve many of the greatest wealth, political and social standing and show them to be guilty, in a greater or less degree of various crimes and questionable practices, and disclose their true identity, it is deemed to be only fair and proper that the author and victim under such circumstances should be explicitily pointed out to the reader. So we begin by saying, the author and victim is one and the same person, who was born away back in the forties, in a log house, on the pine-clad hills of Pultney, Steuben County, N. Y. His struggles for an education, if told in detail, would only show a repetition of many similar instances already in public print, so suffice it to say, that up to sixteen years of age he could scarcely read or write and after this time, all of his energies were used in trying to obtain the rudiments, at least, of an English education., and he finally succeeded to such an extent that he became able to teach a country district school, and afterwards was admitted to the bar of the State at Rochester, N. Y. on June 10, 1869. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
