Excerpt from The Rose of Old St. Louis My story does not claim to be history, but in every important historical detail it is absolutely faithful to the records of the times as I have found them. Every word of the debate in Congress, every word of Marbois, Livingston, Decres, Napoleon, and his two brothers on the subject of the Louisiana Cession is verbatim from the most authentic accounts. I am indebted for the historical part of my story to Gayarre's "History of Louisiana," to Martin's "History of Louisiana," to James K. Hosmer's "History of the Louisiana Purchase," to Lucien Bonaparte's "Memoirs," to numerous lives of Napoleon, Jefferson, Talleyrand, and others, and particularly to Marbois himself, whose account of the negotiations on the subject of the cession is preserved in his own handwriting in the St. Louis Mercantile Library. As to the local color of old St. Louis, both in its topographical setting and in its customs, I have also tried to be exact.

Excerpt from The Book of the Rose As the will of last year's windy, As the drift of the morrow's rain, As the goal of the falling star, As the treason sinned in vain, As the bow that shines and is gone, As the night cry heard no more - Is the way of the woman's meaning Beyond man's eldest lore. He. This hour to me is like a rose just open, The wonder of its golden heart not yet Fully revealed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Rose In his tower sat the poet On the rock the billow bursteth Take, 0 sea! The tender blossom Forth into the night he hurled it Foam and spray drive back to leeward Stands a maiden, on the morrow Touch not, sea, the blessed letters Brings a little rose, and throws it Full of bliss she takes the token The ocean's fierce unrest In his tower sits the poet Up the beach the ocean slideth Maiden lips, with love grown bolder tail-piece.

Excerpt from The Rose of Deseret They bloomed alone by the winding streams, At the feet of the stately trees. The roses sweet of the mountains bloomed And scented the morning breeze. The Winter snows were melted down In the rosy month of June, And rushing from the mountain heights, To the roses sang their tune. Painted faces by the roses came, And low made their leafy home Breathing the breath of the fragrant gale, Charmed by beauty While they roam.

Excerpt from The Rose in the Ring These men trudged or stumbled along the slip pery road which skirted the mountain's base. Soggy, unseen farm lands and gardens to their left, Stygian forests above and to their right. Ahead, the far-distant will-o-the-wisp icker of many lights, blinking in the foggy shroud. Three or four miles lay between the sullen travelers and the town that cradled itself in the lower end of the valley. Night had stolen early upon the dour spring day. The tall man who led carried a rickety, ill-smelling lantern that sent its feeble rays no farther ahead than a dozen paces; it served best to reveal the face of the huge Silver watch which frequently was drawn from its owner's coat pocket.
