Zone Policeman 88 is a non-fiction book written by Harry A. Franck, first published in 1913. The book is a personal account of Franck's journey as a zone policeman in the Panama Canal Zone, a territory under the control of the United States government at the time. In the book, Franck describes his experiences as a law enforcement officer in the Canal Zone, including his interactions with the local population, the challenges he faced, and the unique culture and customs of the area. He also provides insight into the politics and social dynamics of the region, as well as the impact of the construction of the Panama Canal on the local community. The book is considered a classic of travel literature and provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter of American history.I wormed my way through the fawning, neck-craning, many-shaded mob of political henchmen and obsequious petitioners into the sacred hushed precincts of Panama police headquarters. A paunched Spigoty with a shifty eye behind large bowed glasses, vainly striving to exude dignity and wisdom, received me with the oily smirk of the Panamanian office-holder who feels the painful necessity of keeping on outwardly good terms with all Americans. I flashed my badge and mentioned a name.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
