Excerpt from Nast's Illustrated Almanac, 1871Hank made his mark early in life, and is still making it, and, although he never leamed to write, he can read just as well from a book upside down as any other way.Many a night has he set around the kitchen, long after all the cooks were in bed, watching for an opportunity to sell a deck passenger a pan of grub, and make an extra quarter, and when he had secured sufficient capital to purchase a chuck-a - luck outfit, and was firmly established in business, he often referred to these early struggles with pride. And even after he got to be proprietor of a saloon, and owned seven steamboat bars, and had become famous as a prize fighter, he was not ashamed of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
