About This Book
The author traces a life of steady self-advancement from early manual trades to professions in law, business, and public service, describing anti-slavery activism and firsthand encounters with the Underground Railroad, frontier ordeals during the Pacific gold rush, entrepreneurial ventures on the Pacific coast and in British Columbia, legal study and political activity in Reconstruction-era America, and diplomatic duty overseas. Interwoven reflections emphasize labor, education, civic responsibility, practical strategies for racial uplift, and lessons drawn from wide travel and varied public roles.
