Excerpt from Our Corrupt Courts and President Roosevelt
The victim and writer of this book was born in a log house, and of Irish parents who pioneered the forests of Steuben county, New York, and there from the wilds of nature hewed out a home for themselves.
When ten years of age the victim commenced his literary career by learning to read from "Websters Spelling Book," purchased with the proceeds of a sheep-pelt that he had skinned from a sheep found hanging dead in a stump fence.
And alternating between working upon the farm, studying by the light of the logs in the fire-place, and teaching school in winter, he progressed so that on June 10, 1869, he was admitted to practice law in all the courts of his native state.
He is now closing his literary career by skinning Jug-handle Judges, Ring Politicians, posthumous Presidents and such like parasites, who are polluting public morals and destroying national life.
