For tales and legends gather round his name thick as the berries hang on a bush, and with the passage of every succeeding year it grows harder to discern where truth lies and where the love of wonder, working together with the sway of a great man’s memory, has wrought the embroidery of its fancy on the plain robe of fact.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
