This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Those are the sufferers: the old men and cripples, the women and little children. Thousands of families are broken up, their members tramping separately the highways and byways, ignorant of one another's whereabouts or fate. They sleep, unprotected, beside the roads.
