Beschreibung
Shot with Crimson is a wonderfully written short fiction that revolves around a ring of German-American spies and saboteurs in the New York City area during World War I. This engrossing work was written in 1918 by American novelist and playwright George Barr McCutcheon, whose best-known works are Graustark (1901) and Brewster's Millions (1902). Excerpt from Shot with Crimson: " Every one was talking,—loudly, excitedly, and in some cases violently. Some were excoriating the Germans, others were bitterly criticizing the Government for its over-tenderness, and still others were blaming themselves for not taking the law in their own hands and making short work of the "soap-boxers," the "pacifists," and the "obstructionists." Little Mr. Cribbs was the most violent of them all. He was for organizing the old-time Vigilantes, once so efficacious in the Far West, and equipping them with guns and ropes and plenty of tar and feathers."
