Book Description
Excerpt from Anthony Comstock, Fighter: Some Impressions of a Lifetime of Adventure in Conflict With the Powers of Evil The country-boy clerk was scared, too; thoroughly so. He was downright afraid to go for that dog. 80 he went to his room and prayed to God for courage, and for suc cess in killing the animal. He had a very definite notion of what he proposed to do, and he knew where to go for strength and guidance to do it, - two characteristics of his later life. Getting up from his knees, he took his firearms, locked the door of the store, and started to look for the dog. There were two roads, either of which he might take. One went up the side of a high hill, the other ran along by the river, and they left each other at a fork in the road along which he started. In the angle of land formed by the separation of these two roads was a row of tenement houses, occupied by the Irish and other poorer mill-workers of the community. A retaining wall some seven feet high supported the bank on the lower Side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... whom the loving and tender side of their nature is most prominently developed. Anthony Comstock is a striking example of this principle. He is a "home body," through and through, loving his home and his dear ones with a deep tenderness. His love for children is a passion in his life; it is they, indeed, for whom he has laid down his life in his crusade of eternal vigilance against the crimes whose objective is to ruin childhood. And he has learned, in the school of sorrow, the pathway to love and tenderness. His first-born and only child, a daughter, was born in the summer of 1871. The following year he was in the thick of his early experiences of desperate conflict with the doers of evil. In June of 1872 the baby daughter was taken ill. One morning, June 28th, Mr. Comstock left his home for court, while a trained nurse shared with the mother the care of the child. Mr. Comstock was conducting the prosecution, and was on the witness stand all day, under a bitter and cudgelling cross-examination. At night he returned to his home, to find the littie girl dead. The entry in his diary for that day reads: "The Lord's will be done. Oh, for grace to say it and live it 1" That was on a Friday. The court adjourned until Monday, when Mr. Comstock went on to the stand again, while in the meantime he and the heart-broken mother had buried their child. So his love for children is not "academic" or in the abstract; it has a basis that nothing can ever take from him. A friend of the writer's, Mr. Frederick Hall of Dundee, Illinois, whose sketches of the child life of the Bible have put readers under heavy obligation, recently had an interesting experience with Mr. Comstock on this side of his nature. He writes about it as follows: I called at his office...

How the Arabian Nights Inspired the American Dream, 1790-1935
Author: Susan Nance
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807894052
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Americans have always shown a fascination with the people, customs, and legends of the "East--witness the popularity of the stories of the Arabian Nights, the performances of Arab belly dancers and acrobats, the feats of turban-wearing vaudeville magicians, and even the antics of fez-topped Shriners. In this captivating volume, Susan Nance provides a social and cultural history of this highly popular genre of Easternized performance in America up to the Great Depression. According to Nance, these traditions reveal how a broad spectrum of Americans, including recent immigrants and impersonators, behaved as producers and consumers in a rapidly developing capitalist economy. In admiration of the Arabian Nights, people creatively reenacted Eastern life, but these performances were also demonstrations of Americans' own identities, Nance argues. The story of Aladdin, made suddenly rich by rubbing an old lamp, stood as a particularly apt metaphor for how consumer capitalism might benefit each person. The leisure, abundance, and contentment that many imagined were typical of Eastern life were the same characteristics used to define "the American dream." The recent success of Disney's Aladdin movies suggests that many Americans still welcome an interpretation of the East as a site of incredible riches, romance, and happy endings. This abundantly illustrated account is the first by a historian to explain why and how so many Americans sought out such cultural engagement with the Eastern world long before geopolitical concerns became paramount.
