We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

NOTE If in this story I have offended any one whose name I have used I am sincerely sorry because I have not meant to do so. It may seem that I have dealt not too kindly with my parents during the early period of my life. I can but say — I have written of things just as they have impressed me. The treatment they gave to me was stern indeed but I now realize that I was a head-strong, stubborn child, and evidently the methods they employed must have been the right ones, for I have turned out a financial success, at least. Everybody who knows my father and stepmother likes them, so at heart they must be good, and I'm glad that when the Almighty dealt out parents that I drew the ones I did. To you, kind readers, I ask only that you will please look upon me as just "a regular human being," and we who have made our money here in America (whoever we may be) , let us stick up for her, fight for her, and respect and honor every being who has given his life to make us the independent people that we are.
