Riis has been a
police reporter on a New York newspaper and he still believes there is no
more desirable position to be found anywhere.... Incidentally he has
gained a national reputation by writing 'How the Other Half Lives' and 'A
Ten Years' War,' and this ingenious autobiography will carry his fame
still further, for it is the most irresistibly entertaining book he has
written ... one of the brightest, wholesomest, most fascinating books of
the season."--_Record Herald_, Chicago.

THE OLD TOWN

"It has a double charm, the charm that is associated with an old place,
shut off from the world's main currents, and the charm of showing the
origins of an interesting personality. The old town is Ribe, Mr. Riis's
native town in little Denmark, where the big winter storms sometimes drive
the sea up with a rush and a swirl to the old-fashioned houses, where
railroads were not known, where semi-mediaeval customs still prevailed. It
is a book of the heart."

HERO TALES OF THE FAR NORTH

"True stories of the famous heroes of Scandinavia, retold with all the
charm of style and sympathetic interpretation distinctive of Jacob A.
Riis. Seldom, if ever, has history appeared in so interesting a guise as
in these fascinating, stirring, and exciting stories of adventure."

THEODORE ROOSEVELT: The Citizen

"It is written from the heart. It breathes sincerity and conviction in
every line. It emphasizes not so much the forces and influences which
lifted Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency, as the qualities that make
his personality and underlie his character. It gives a vivid impression of
his mental and moral self--his point of view, and the ideals on which his
public career has been based.... It is a refreshing and stimulating
picture--one that will carry encouragement to every reader whose heart is
enlisted in the struggle to exorcise corruption and oppression from our
body politic."--_New York Tribune._
