About this listen

 Join Ralph Keeler on a captivating journey through his life, filled with humor, adventure, and a touch of literary brilliance. Once a struggling novelist, Keeler found his voice in this autobiography, which showcases his connections with notable figures like satirist Bret Harte and essayist William Dean Howells. Mark Twain was so taken with Keeler that he penned an essay titled Ralph Keeler in his honor. In a dramatic twist, Keelers life took a perilous turn in 1873 when a Spanish loyalist threw him overboard during his voyage to Cuba, protesting his support for the revolutionary anti-Spanish cause. Experience the remarkable tales of a life well-lived, narrated by John Greenman.
