Leland took up arms against King Louis-Philippe in the 1848 revolution in France, popularized the term “emancipation” of slaves, fought for the Union in the American Civil War, and unearthed a diverse collection of folklore, including the alleged “bible” of pagan witchcraft. A life-long truth-stretcher and story-teller, he tells his own tale in this disarming 1893 memoir.
