About this film
LibriVox recording of The Death Shot by Thomas Mayne Reid. Read in English by Larry Wilson; deongines; Jeremiah Sutherland; Mike Pelton; Juliana; THBosc; John; Jules Hawryluk; Eli Beratore; Bill Boerst; Keir; Tom Penn Long time since this hand hath penned a preface. Now only to say, that this romance, as originally published, was written when the author was suffering severe affliction, both physically and mentally—the result of a gun-wound that brought him as near to death as Darke’s bullet did Clancy. It may be asked, Why under such strain was the tale written at all? A good reason could be given; but this, private and personal, need not, and should not be intruded on the public. Suffice it to say, that, dissatisfied with the execution of the work, the author has remodelled—almost rewritten it. It is the same story; but, as he hopes and believes, better told. Great Malvern, September, 1874.
