African American Hero : Thomas William Burton, Doctor, Poet, Veteran

My knowledge of the literary world being very limited, and knowing the numberless valuable productions which have been and are being sent broadcast throughout the world from the greatest minds, touching every phase of human existence, of every clime, and on every subject imaginable, make me feel abashed to offer to the public this book, "WHAT EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME;" but as God gave me this inspiration to make an effort to do something for the purpose of encouraging those who may be less fortunate than myself, I shall tell my own story, and in my own way, as I saw and experienced it. It shall be the aim and object of this book to point out things which are beneficial and practicable.
