Ralph Keeler failed as a novelist, but this autobiography reflects a life well-lived
with humor and adventure. Keeler was in the same literary circle as satirist Bret
Harte, novelist Charles Warren Stoddard, editor Thomas Bailey Aldrich, and
essayist William Dean Howells. He so impressed Mark Twain that Twain wrote an
essay about him called "Ralph Keeler". In 1873, on his way to Cuba, he
reportedly was thrown overboard by a Spanish loyalist who objected to his
backing of the revolutionary, anti-Spanish movement.
