    About this ebook

    "Over Here" by Edgar A. Guest is a collection of poetry in support of America's involvement in WWI. It was written for the mothers, fathers, and other loved ones who were at home hoping the young men fighting for America would come home safely. Defiantly tied to the politics of the era, these poems are a peek into the past and give a unique perspective on the great war that shook the entire world.

      Growing Up Poor, with Trump on TV

      Feb 21, 2017
