Description:Excerpt from Albion W. Tourgee In this book I have attempted to weave into a single narrative the various threads of interest on the life of Tourgee, soldier, carpet-bagger, politician, judge, consul, lecturer, editor and publisher, political writer, and novelist. The idea of writing his biography would quite certainly never have occurred to me had I not spent my early years in a cherished rural community, hardly centralized enough to be dignified even by the name of hamlet, only four miles from Thorheim. One of my earliest recollections is of hearing my father say what sounded to me then like a single word, "Judgetorjay," which very much aroused my childish curiosity. And while engaged in the work of collecting material and of writing, I have often been cheered by the thought that the published results of my re searches might afford some pleasure to many friends and acquaintances of mine, who knew Tourgee not so much as a prominent novelist as a genially democratic neighbor. I can only hope that the picture of him which I have drawn (in which task I have been prompted only by the love of impartial, but I trust not unsympathetic, truth) will not cause any of his friends to hold in less esteem the only literary person of importance who has added the lustre of legendary charm to a spot already graciously favored by nature, but will rather enable them to have a juster comprehension of the reasons for their admiration.
