Sinopse
Arthur Keim’s Slum Lord experiences were just one part of a lifetime of remarkable adventures, starting from the moment he was orphaned as an infant during the Great Depression. Arthur’s tyrannical grandfather took him in, teaching him how to sell bootleg hooch, how to shine shoes on the streets of lower Manhattan—and how to charm the ladies.
On his own, he learned to entertain a crowd by dancing for tips before he was six-years-old. A real-life Daddy Warbucks discovered this unusual child, and took him on to raise. The former street urchin suddenly found himself groomed for New York high society, with private tutors, fancy boarding school, weekends at the Met, the ballet, and the Yacht Club.
After serving in the Korean Conflict, he ended up, somehow, in Texas and got married. He was not intimidated by bureaucrats, academia, left wing socialists, petty know-it-alls, and what he saw as the infiltration of traditional standards of freedom.
Keim was distinctly not an ordinary person. His life is a true tale of a fearless, entrepreneurial American ready to meet challenges, winning some and losing some, always without regrets.
