Excerpt from The Life of Dan RiceIn the course of his eventful career Opportunities had been presented in a more exalted sphere, and he has been importuned to enter the arena of politics, and upon more than one occasion overtures have been made to allow himself to be nominated for Congress and State Senate, and at one period for President, in 1868, in New York, where his oratorical ability and brilliant originality would have been of incalculable service to the party he espoused. But, however distasteful the profession with which he was connected, he shrank from the harassing turmoil, agita tions, and antagonisms of political strife, and preferred to reign supreme in the more remunerative, if less exalted, walk of life, which in later years he invested with a distinction unknown prior to his advent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
