Mr. Barnwell says, Fame is an article usually home made; you
must create your own puffs or superintend their manufacture. And you must see
that the newspapers print your own military reports. No one else will give you
half the credit you take to yourself. No one will look after your fine name
before the world with the loving interest and faith you have yourself.
