Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Patriotic Poems: An Iowa Book for Patriotic People A dispatch from Des Moines says: "Mrs. E. V. Boudinot, a country school teacher in Liun County, whose postoffice is Western College, has started a movement which is likely to result in giving the soldier boys a little pocket pamphlet of patriotic songs. Mrs. Boudinot is a soldier´s widow, and as a teacher she had received a copy of the Memorial Day leaflet, issued by the state department of education. She came all the way to Des Moines last Saturday to say good by to the boys of the Cedar Rapids company, many of whom she had known from childhood, and some of whom had been her pupils. It occurred to her that she would like to give the boys some of the Memorial Day leaflets, which contain many patriotic songs. Bob Cousins´ famous speech on the Maine, and some other patriotic speeches. So she called on Superintendent Barrett and when her purpose was made known he gave her seventy-five copies of the leaflet for the boys. In the afternoon she came back and reported that they were perfectly delighted to receive these little pamphlets and would carry them with care and pride to the front. This suggested the propriety of giving every Iowa soldier a little collection of patriotic songs, printed on good strong paper, with the flag on the cover. Americans have been reproached for not knowing their own national songs and probably not one person in fifty can repeat "The Star Spangled Banner" or "America." If the boys had these little song books they would soon learn the songs and the singing would be more general than it is. They would surely appreciate and prize such a gift, and it would not be expensive. It is likely that some way will be found to have the songs printed and distributed." The foregoing is quoted from the Cedar Rapids Daily Republican of June 1, 1898. It has, through appreciation shown, given me courage to write and have published a few little poems.
