Ten Nights in a Bar-Room - And What I Saw There #223050

Ten Nights in a bar~roozr3 gives a series of sharply drawn sketches of scenes, some of them touching in the extreme, and some dark and terrible. Step by step the author traces the downward course of the tempting vender and his infatuated victims, until both are involved in hopeless ruin. The book is marred by no exaggera tions, but exhibits the actualities of bar-room life, am the consequences flowing therefrom, with a severe sim plicity, and adherence to truth, that gives to every picture a Daguerrean vividness.
