The Last Leaf (Dodo Press) James Kendall Hosmer

James Kendall Hosmer (1834-1927) is the author of The Thinking Bayonet (1865) and The Last Leaf (1912). "Standing on the threshold of my eightieth year, stumbling badly, moreover, through the mutiny, well justified, of a pair of worn-out eyes, I, a veteran maker of books, must look forward to the closing of an over-long series. I retain in my memory certain films, which record impressions of long ago. Can I not possibly develop and present these film records for a moving picture of the men and events of an eventful period? "
