Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Book of Poems; Tales of the Hoosier Traveler Embracing the Following Subjects: Travels Through the United States and Mexico, Canada, Alaska, West Indies and the Philippines; The Inferno, and Essays on Astronomy
Owing to the solicitations of my many friends I was induced
To pen this volume, hoping it will meet
With the approval of the many readers of the same.
This book is written mostly in couplets,
As the following subjects present themselves:
First the Fairy Garden, second a poem
On each state and some of the principal cities,
Also on Canada, Alaska and Old Mexico,
The West Indies, Hawaii and the Philippines,
Also on the Wonders of America,
The fictitious names of the states and cities;
Also a poem on the historical part of our country.
A poem on the Spanish-American War,
A poem on the End of Man, the Inferno,
Poems on the Sun, Moon, Earth and Planets,
Meteors, Comets, the Stars, Constellations,
And the Clusters of the Stars;
In other words, the Siderial Journey through
The Skies, or Wonders of the Heavens.
This book of poems, owing to the figures
And many different subjects in each
Poem, it is quite hard to make perfect
Poetry, but success has crowned our efforts.
