Written in the early 1920s, the work provides an introspective look at the highs and lows of a career in journalism, particularly highlighting the challenging life of a reporter, editor, and war correspondent. Gibbs reflects on the trials and tribulations of the profession, the unpredictability of news reporting, and the colorful array of characters he encountered along the way. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Gibbs' journey through the world of journalism.
