Title: The Iron Star And what It saw on Its Journey through the Ages Author: John Preston True Edition: 10 Language: English Produced by Rose Koven, Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. THE IRON STAR And what It saw on Its Journey through the Ages From Myth to History By JOHN PRESTON TRUE Illustrated by PREFACEThis is a wonderful old world of ours, the one we live in. It is wonderful to think how it has grown, day by day, year by year, century by century, and by each step of Time just a little better worth living in. It is like a beautiful fairy story, with the great advantage of being true. Of course none of us were here when the world began, so we did not see the beginning of it, but some of us have worked the problem backward through the years to find out what the beginning was like; and starting from a good dry spot, if you follow the wanderings of my Iron Star, I believe you will at no time be very far from the truth of the way in which girls and boys and their elders lived in the days now long ago. Will you make the journey with me? J. P. T.SEPTEMBER, 1899. |
