Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Pennsylvanian
Public duties and other activities and responsibilities necessarily confined the writing Of the autobiography to brief periods in the summers of some four or five years. Late in the summer Of 1915 his right arm was broken and, while still carried in a sling, was again injured in a railroad train. He was never able to use the arm during the year of life that remained, but immediately after the injury, at the age Of seventy-two years, with the courage and resolution which always characterized him, he set out to write with his left hand. The concluding sentence of his account in Chapter XIII Of his visit to the battlefields Of Fredericks burg and Chancellorsville was the last portion of the auto biography written with the right hand. The remainder of Chapter XIII, the pages of comment and review in Chapter XIV, the sketches of Walt Whitman and Elihu Root in Chapter XV and the introductory paragraph of Chapter XVI were written with the left hand.
