The Lonely Life On The Lyceum Circuit
A veteran speaker recalls touring solo on the lyceum circuit, the coldness of life on the road, and the warmth of home. He notes how a man can live among thousands yet die with few sincere friends, contrasting hotel stays with a small town home. He recounts Doc Barker, a temperance lecturer, fading on the road and the constant effort to help him, ending with a tribute to home’s warmth over wealth.
