To a Cootie: The Least of His Creatures

Descripción

1919 signed and inscribed J.H. Heron (Orange, New Jersey), 4 x 5 3/4 inches tall hardcover, red plaid paper-covered boards, illustrated with black-and-white drawings, 20, [2] pp. Slight soiling, and moderate rubbing and edgewear to covers, with particular wear to the paper along the spine. Nicely inscribed to a friend and signed by the author on the blank front free-endpaper. Otherwise, apart from a couple of pages with slight marginal soiling, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this scarce collection of verse. ~SP17~ [1.0P] A book of verse by Scottish American James H. Heron, about World War War I. His dedication: 'This wee bookie is respectfully dedicated to the 'Thirty Thousand Liars,' all true Americans, many of them sons of Scotsmen, who answered the call of liberty in the early days of the Great War, crossed the border into Canada and swore they were citizens of Great Britain, that they might enlist and join the crusade against autocracy. Many of them (too many) will not come back, but those who do, let us hope that their citizenship in the United States, whom they really went to serve, will immediately be fully restored to them.
