Description
Excerpt from Diary of William Plumer JacobsIt is the story of a little boy in a great city who fell in love with all good things and who resolved to center his whole life upon obtaining them, and who did so. It is the story of a youth to whom a church, and an orphan age, and a college, and a library, and a printing office meant so much in the great city of Charleston, that he transplanted them to a wide place in the road which was Clinton of 1865. It is the story of an aged man whose faith, and love, and courage were sufficient to conquer sickness, and blindness, and deafness, and years, and death.
