The Rise of Ransom City

EDITOR’S FOREWORD
BY ELMER MERRIAL CARSON
It seems I have worked half my life on this account of Mr. Harry Ransom and his adventures. I have published more books in my life than I can now recall, I have founded two newspapers and run three into the ground, I have rewritten my own autobiography four times—one of the hazards of longevity—and it seems to me now that this book has cost me more labor than all the rest put together. Ever since I first met him, Mr. Harry Ransom has made my life difficult.
