Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. A RIGHTEOUS THEFT LIFE. is an interesting thing under all circumstances, and men are worth studying whether they be savage or civilized. There was something born in me, however, which prevented me from being a mere spectator of life; like the small boy in ?Helen?s Babies,? I liked to ?see the wheels go round,? it is true, but it was not possible to keep from giving them a shove at the same time. When I came back from the West I had no definite plan of life, and after six months of inaction I began to get restless. I had no desire to return to the West, for with Winnetou, my adopted Apache brother, dead, there was little attraction to me in the scenes we had roamed together.
