Excerpt from Multum in Parvo: Notes From the Life and Travels of James Batchelder, a Retired Locomotive Engineer
Boyhood up to the time I commenced my travels, was spent at hard labor. I have had no advan tages in the art of wielding words and phrases, so must give as my excuse for errors that may occur, my lack of experience in literary composition.
