Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems of Panama, and Other Verse: Founded Upon Adventures in the Wanderings of One of Nature´s Nomads This little book is apt to remind some of us that time flies. Can it be near twenty years back to the peaceful, prosy, self-containing United States of the nineties? All the young fellows were reading Kipling then, and getting the romance of far tropical places in their blood, and the wanderlust in their feet. If a young fellow had the itch for writing, he got the brass band of Kipling in his style - or what he hoped was his style. Along came the little war with Spain. What a brisk, dramatic little war it was! Not much nowadays, true, when war is made by machinery, with a card system. But it took the young fellows of the nineties away to lands full of color and strangeness, and opened up a new era for them and for us. It is good to look back, if you are old enough, and remember the spirit of that time. George W. Lewis was one of the young fellows out in Kansas. He must have read Kipling, for the brass band can be heard in his verses. And he must have dreamed about the far, strange places, for when the chance came he enlisted and went away to the tropics, and has been in the tropics pretty much ever since. First, to the Philippines, in Uncle Sam´s khaki, where Life and Romance lost no time in introducing themselves.
