Author of “El Supremo”
Original Project Gutenberg editor’s note: First published in 1918, this book went through sixteen printings before it ceased to be a money-maker for its publishers. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a world most of us know nothing about. It has been slightly re-edited for ease in reading as an E-text. The author’s spellings have been left alone even when they are incorrect in English English, American English, and Latin.
