DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Charles Carleton Coffin, War Correspondent, Traveller, Author, and Statesman He had blue eyes that often twinkled with fun, for Mr. Coffin loved a joke. He was fond to his last day of wit, and could make quick repartee. None enjoyed American hu mor more than he. He pitied the person who could not see a joke until it was made into a diagram, with annotations. In spirit, he was a boy even after three score and ten. The young folks lived in that mild and magnifi cent eye. Out of it came sympathy, kind ness, helpfulness. We have seen those eyes flash with indignation. Scorn of wrong snapped in them. Before hypocrisy or oppression his glances were as mimic lightning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
