Here is the introduction from this classic printable and searchable eBook, which Ernest Hemingway called "The best book we've had":
 

NOTICE

PERSONS attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted;

persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons

attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.

BY ORDER OF THE AUTHOR, Per G.G., Chief of Ordnance.

EXPLANATORY

IN this book a number of dialects are used, to wit:  the Missouri negro

dialect; the extremest form of the backwoods Southwestern dialect; the

ordinary "Pike County" dialect; and four modified varieties of this last.

The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork;

but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of

personal familiarity with these several forms of speech.

I make this explanation for the reason that without it many readers would

suppose that all these characters were trying to talk alike and not

succeeding.

THE AUTHOR.
