"The Carpetbagger" originally was written as a four-act comedy. It was performed for thirty weeks during the theatrical season of 1898-9, under the intelligent management of Mr. Tim Murphy, and met with a most flattering reception. There have been so many requests for the preservation of this story in permanent form, that we have been led to publish it as a novel, and the result is before you.".
