Klappentext

Reproduction of the original, first published in 1908. Early 20th-century anthology compiled by George M. Baker, offering serious, humorous, pathetic, patriotic, and dramatic selections in prose and poetry for reading and recitation. Drawing on multiple authors, it ranges across varied tones and subjects, from human emotion to national feeling. The opening presents a dying man named Rough in a cabin, recalling his past and longing for redemptive light as a companion listens, leading to a request for prayer and themes of nostalgia, mortality.
