Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems With a Punch for Patriotic People This little volume has been prepared, with the original work of the compiler and other selections either germane or entertaining, with the especial ends in view, first, of describing certain phases of the world´s greatest war as they are, without gloss or reservation, and stripped of sentimentalities. For such descriptions the author stands alone responsible and assumes all responsibilities. Second, of describing certain phases of the life of the soldier, and of the home-folks left behind, as others have not done or attempted. And third, of providing a little volume of convenient size which the soldier may "pack in his old kit bag," and which may serve to entertain during the rest hour, as well as to assure him that the folks back home are behind the game to the limit, and are going the full length of the road with him. If it serves these purposes the author and compiler will have been amply repaid. The buff paper is used because it gives least pain to the eye while reading by lamplight, and it is hoped that the price of this edition is fixed at a figure that will prove burdensome to no soldier or his family. Appreciative credit is sincerely given to Mr, LeRoy Huron Kelsey, of Kansas City, Missouri, Mr. Charles Arthur, of Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Rev. S. L. Essick, of Waveland, Indiana, for heretofore unpublished selections which, because of their especial appropriateness to certain phases of the subject the compiler has been quite pleased to use instead of writing upon such subjects himself. The remaining selections not appearing under the name of the compiler, are used believing that they are old enough to be public property, and too good to be left out of a volume prepared for the purposes that this one is.
