    About this ebook

    In the beginning he was Christopher Bellew. By the time he was at college he had become Chris Bellew. Later, in the Bohemian crowd of San Francisco, he was called Kit Bellew. And in the end he was known by no other name than Smoke Bellew. And this history of the evolution of his name is the history of his evolution. Nor would it have happened had he not had a fond mother and an iron uncle, and had he not received a letter from Gillet Bellamy.

      Nov 15, 2023

      There's no sugarcoating the awfulness of going bald, especially when you're young. I lost my hair – first slowly, then all at once – when I was in my late twenties. I had it worse than most, but better than some. I've had decades to get used to seein
