Overview: I did not know, at the start, what the thing would be like at the finish, and I made small effort to make it look shapely and smooth; but the inward impulse in me to write it, somehow, was irresistible, in spite of the other impulse to go off somewhere and rest and forget it all. But I felt that if it were not done then it might never be done at all; and done it must be at any cost. I had promised my mates in prison that I would do it, and I was under no less an obligation, though an unspoken one, to give the public an opportunity to learn at first hand what prison life is, and means.— Julian Hawthorne
The book “The Subterranean Brotherhood” was first published in 1914. In this book, Julian Hawthorne (the son of famous novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne) provides a first-hand account of prison life. He wrote this book following his own experience in prison, where he served one year for mail fraud. He had been invited by a college friend to join him in Canada selling shares in silver mines that did not exist.
Hawthorne felt a strong impulse to write about his experiences and promised his mates in prison that he would do so. He believed it was important to give the public an opportunity to learn what prison life is like. The book is a raw and honest account of his experiences, with little effort made to make it look shapely and smooth.
