Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Huxter Puck, and Other Poems This volume contains nearly all the poems of my school days that were left out of "Hallowe´en and Other Poems." It was the intention to publish this work first, but on account of a difficulty with the printer to whom the work was let, it was necessarily delayed. There is little need of any Preface to the first parts, for to many of the pieces I have appended notes which take its place. Most of the pieces are more local than those contained in my previous publications. In many of them are allusions to places, persons and incidents of our own county and state, I do not think this can detract aught from the general interest, - For why should not Missouri be the land Of inspired song and happy minstrelsy, When every heart is but a smouldering brand Of burning passion, - throbbing wild and free To burst in song, and breathe from chords of fire A strain immortal from her unstruck lyre? The principal story in this book, Huxter Puck, is divided into five parts. Huxter Puck was a Missouri boy, born in this county some few miles North of Chil-liuothe. As he was living not more than a quarter of a century ago, some of our older inhabitants may doubtless remember him. The first three parts of "his Epic" I wrote while attanding school at Columbia, Mo. I finished the third part in the spring of 1888.
