Excerpt from Biography of Isaac W. Ambler I first became acquainted with the subject of this narrative in the spring of 1859, and having heard him relate many striking events that had occurred to him, I asked him why he did not have his life written, that by doing it he had might get an education. His answer was, that he had often thought of it, and, upon further conversation, he asked me to sketch down the incidents of his life, which I have done, although somewhat in an imperfect manner. The subject of this narrative was born in England, and was early deprived of his parents, commenced, when seven years old, to work in the coal mines, and worked in them four years, after which he entered the British army, in which he served seven years before making his escape to Portland, Me. During all this time, he was addicted to the intoxicating cup, and led an unhappy life. From Portland he moved to Biddeford, and thence to Newburyport, Mass., where he was brought, by the power of God, to see the error of his ways, and to turn his feet into the testimonies of the Lord. I have endeavored to write this narrative in a simple and natural style, and to depict the scenes as near life as was in my power. I have written them in the form of an autobiography, that I might give them as nearly as possible in the words of the subject himself.
