First Sentence: |
I was as careless and scapegrace a lad in my youth as ever stepped in shoe-leather, although I might have been otherwise had I been blessed with a kind father and mother, but death had deprived me of these, and an uncle, who had taken care of me as a sort of duty, unactuated by any feelings of love, made a home for me far from congenial, and to escape it I lighted out at the age of fourteen and trudged on foot to New York. |
