Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Mason Long, the Converted Gambler: Being a Record of His Experience as a White Slave; A Soldier in the Union Army; A Professional Gambler; A Patron of the Turf; A Variety Theater and Minstrel Manager, And, Finally, a Convert to the Murphy Cause, and to the Gospel of Christ
The story of my life is not a pleasant one. It will not excite the admiration or enthusiasm of the reader. It lo not characterized - would to God it were - by great deeds, noble actions, high impulses. My career has been in no way different from that of thousands of others, excepting that, through the grace of God, it was altered before I had drank the bitter cup to the very dregs. My story is that of a bleak and cheerless childhood, a youth of ignorance and hardship, a manhood of intemperance and vice.

The Life of Mason Long, the Converted Gambler (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a raw and unvarnished, first-hand account of the author's military service during the American Civil War, his struggle with addiction, and his eventual redemption. The author pulls no punches as he vividly describes some of the bloodiest battles of the war and the unimaginable horrors he witnessed. Yet even as he recounts the brutality and senseless loss, the author also paints a picture of intense camaraderie and brotherhood among the soldiers. After the war, the author battled alcohol addiction for many years before eventually finding sobriety through the Murphy cause and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This book offers a fascinating perspective on the brutality of the Civil War as well as powerful insights into the redemptive power of faith.
