The Second Deluge by Garrett P. Serviss, Science Fiction, Adventure, Visionary & Metaphysical, Classics 12+

📘 The writer wishes frankly to say that, in some instances, he has followed the course which all historians are compelled to take by using his imagination to round out the picture. But he is able conscientiously to declare that in the substance of his narrative, as well as in every detail which is specifically described, he has followed faithfully the accounts of eyewitnesses, or of those who were in a position to know the truth of what they related. -- Garrett P. Serviss
