In the Track of the Troops
A Tale of Modern War (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from In the Track of the Troops: A Tale of Modern War<br><br>Jeffry Childers, the hero and narrator of this tale, was introduced to me by Mr. Brain, a friend who, in the course of a pretty long acquaintance, has favoured me with numerous introductions to people of varied character - good, bad, and indifferent.<br><br>Mr. Childers was so importunate, and urged me with so much fervour to supervise his work - to point his moral and adorn his tale - that I consented to do so on the distinct understanding that I should be entitled to verify all his facts, modify his sentences, reverse his objectionable judgments, and exclude everything that should in any degree savour of exaggeration. The intelligent reader will thus easily understand the relation that subsists between Jeffry Childers and myself.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
