Blood Will Tell

Excerpt from Blood Will Tell: The Strange Story of a Son of Ham Boston was shrouded in a mantle of mist that November day, the north-east wind bringing at each blast re-cnforce-ment to the all-enveloping and obscuring mass of gloom that embraced the city in its arms of darkness. Glimmering like toy candles in the distance, electric lights, making halos of the fog, marked a pathway for the hurrying crowds that poured along the narrow, crooked streets of New England's grand old city.

Dunlap" and the words "Shipping and Banking." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
