Roving And Fighting (Adventures Under Four Flags)

This is a very rare book and a book of rare experiences. The author spent his early days on a Texas ranch. He enlisted for the Spanish War and finally went to Japan, where he opened the O'Reilly School of English in Kobe. He served as a bodyguard for a Chinese rent collector, took part in the great wheelbarrow strike, was bouncer in a Chinese theatre, instructor in the Chinese army, and once more was on his way, this time back to America. Ultimately he arrived in Chicago "e;hoboing"e; most of the way. Then came a great deal of experience in Mexico with Villa, Oroczo, Zapata and other rebel leaders.
