Excerpt from Voices From the MountainsThe aim of this compilation is to preserve in collective form poems I have written since the first of those books issued from the press. Included also are a few others, some of which have been revised and, I trust, improved since their original appearance.Most of these verses were composed among my native mountains - hence the title chosen for this volume. They embrace a variety of themes, ranging from grave to gay, from lively to severe, and are sent forth in the hope that they will carry to those who read them some portion of the pleasure that accompanied their creation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
