Description:

Julius Chambers had a craving for adventure in his blood. When he left Cornell University in 1870, Indians were not to be fought east of the Missouri River. The law was assumed to be his natural bent; but although he studied its rudiments, fate, in the name of the daily newspaper, called. He enlisted in its service, heart and soul. Through all stages of progress, as reporter, special correspondent in distant parts of the world, and ultimately as editor of what was at that time the most famous journal in America, if not in the world, the excitement nature demanded was found; but not excitement alone. Chambers authored On a Margin and The Destiny of Doris. He was Managing Editor of the New York "Herald"; Organizer and First Editor of the Paris "Herald"; Managing Editor of the New York "World" and writer of daily "Walks and Talks" for sixteen years in the Brooklyn "Daily Eagle". There were friends and friendships; there were big and little things. Without the aid of wealth or influence, the author attained his ambition at the age of thirty-five and enjoyed a glorious existence. Herein are a few experiences in various countries among all sorts and conditions of men.
