This version was taken from the supplement to Liberty, October 14, 1882, and differs slightly from the version incorporated in Ingalls’ Reminiscences.

On the hand-transcription front, progress as well. Here is the fourth and […]

Joshua King Ingalls, “Work and Wealth” (1878)
[one_third padding=”0 10px 0 0px”] Joshua King Ingalls (1816 – 1898) [/one_third][two_third_last padding=”0 0px 0 10px”] WORK AND WEALTH.
