Book Description
Excerpt from Secrets of the Great Whiskey Ring: Containing a Complete Exposure of the Illicit Whiskey Frauds Culminating in 1875, and the Connections of Grant, Babcock, Douglass, Chester H. Krum, and Other Administration Officers, Established by Positive and Unequivocal Documentary Proofs Nearly five years have elapsed since my conviction as a member of the Great Whiskey Ring of 1875, or, more prop erly, of the Ring the exposure of which occurred during that year. Five years is but a short while to those Whose current of life flows with the melody of prosperity and contentment, but to him whose memory is seared by the basest ingratitude man ever showed to man whose sacrifices for those in power above him have ruined a life, in the debris of which his eyes can never unbend their fixed gaze at his own bitter humility, it is ages.
