Book Description

Excerpt from Portland Oregon A. D. 1999: And Other Sketches In introducing my little romance to the public, I do so with little misgivings or apologies. The close observer will agree that the changes that are anticipated - here related as established facts - are merely the signs of the times, and that not one-half of the story is told. One might wish to be a living witness of the great projects occurring A. D. 1999, and may possibly resent that he was not born later on in the cycles of Time, but if his heart is in the right place he can realize that there is nothing lost, and his soul goes marching onward and upward in its eternal flight. "Oh, sometimes gleams upon our sight Thro' present wrong, the eternal right; And step by step, since time began, We see the steady gain of Man."
