"If an American dramatist or novelist had taken for the ground work of a play or work of fiction the story of the Bidwell family today related on another page of the Herald, all European critics would have told him that the story was too 'American, ' too vast in its outlines, too high in its colors, too merely 'big' in fact. "The story has its lesson. The play is not a mere spectacle. The lesson is that in the doing and undoing of wrong the Bidwell family expended enough ability and energy to stock a good many reigning European families for generations. "

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Excerpt from Bidwell's Travels: From Wall Street to London Prison, Fifteen Years in Solitude 80 Graphic Illustrations "If an American dramatist or novelist had taken for the ground work of a play or work of fiction the story of the Bidwell family today related on another page of the Herald, all European critics would have told him that the story was too 'American, ' too vast in its outlines, too high in its colors, too merely 'big' in fact. "The story has its lesson. The play is not a mere spectacle. The lesson is that in the doing and undoing of wrong the Bidwell family expended enough ability and energy to stock a good many reigning European families for generations. "Let the Comedie Humaine write itself and it will outwrite Balzac." Hon. Lyman J. Gage Having read the Bidwell book I believe it will benefit every one to read this marvellous history of human experience. Aside from its dramatic interest there are great moral lessons involved of especial value to young men and employes in positions of trust. Therefore, I recommend this book as unique and a valuable acquisition for home and office. From Chas. M. Stead, Union League club, New York. "Dear Sir - I read your book with a good deal of interest, and would like to change it for a higher-priced binding if you have one. The Worcester Spy. "Mr, Bidwell's book has been compared with Dumas' famous 'Monte Christo.' The extraordinary character of its adventures, indeed, would render it dramatic and powerful as fiction; as human truth, it is simply overwhelming. No one can read this book unmoved. From every conceivable standpoint, physiological, sociological, and literary, it is a marvel." Philip W. Moen. Mr. Moen, of Washburn & Moen, Worcester, Mass., writes: "I have read Mr. George Bidwell's book with the deepest interest. It is a book that deserves to be widely read, and I am very glad to recommend it." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
