Publisher's Synopsis
1917. A collection of poems by Visscher to which is added President Wilson's Great Message. The well-known poet composed the poems in this volume, one for each State in the Union. A poem for a State and the seal of that State are printed on one page. On the opposite page, facing the poem, appears a picture representing some particular thing, personage of place for which that State is noted. As each State or Territory is famed for numerous and diversified great things, and has its many places of universal interest, as shown in history, the illustrations selected for this work stand forth as being representative. This book touches the spots of interest and stirs true patriotism, and its binding influence has a permanent effect as well as educational value.
