Riffs Augustus Ely Silliman |
"I ADDRESS not, then, the shallow or hurried worldling; but the friendly one, who, in the calm intervals from worldly cares, grants me the aid of a quiet and thoughtful, and, if it may be, a poetic mood." Thus does the author of Scenes and Adventures in the Army seek one ideal reader with whom to commune. Not your ordinary introduction to military autobiography, but let that go for now. Some friendly one is wanted, a pondering soul alive to poetry and wonder. Is it you?
