Synopsis

Excerpt from Mike Donovan: The Making of a Man

Good old Mike is gone. In the twilight Of life he has passed on. Seventy years young was Mike. None thought Of him as Old. He was young and, in vigor of manhood, he vied with the youngest of us who loved him. His heart was as fresh and simple as a child''s. He came into this world under the most humble, plain, yes, rough conditions, and he rose to be the honored friend Of the cultured and refined.

Mike was a patrician by birth. Through his veins ran the blood of Ireland''s chieftains. He seldom mentioned that his descent could be traced through out many centuries. Before he was eight years Of age his beloved mother died.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work is written as an affectionate tribute to one who has come up out of brutal associations and who rejoiced in that he was surrounded by children of whom he was proud and by friends whom he loved. The author hopes that in the lack of minute detail in certain of the Professor sfights the reader will not be unduly disappointed. Those who have seen prize-ring bare-knuckle contests can fill in the lapses and those who have not been at the ring side are saved the knowledge that man descends to such brutality. To the innate integrity of Mike Donovan scharacter and to the fortunate occurrence that he married early in life a woman of sterling worth who always retained his utmost respect and strongest love, is due the fact that he is alive, well and enjoying good health and life to-day.
