Excerpt from A Clergyman's Son and DaughterHis right name nobody knew. He used to amuse himself by writing little things, most of them unpublished, which he would sign Freebird; by this name he became known to his f riends, and grad ually the nom de plume became his only name, by which the people in the village and surrounding country would refer to him. The name stuck because it fitted. I might add, that the articles of clothing he wore were rather scanty in number; from April to October he wore neither shoes nor stockings, and he walked bare headed both summer and winter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
