Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from You Are the Hope of the World: An Appeal to the Girls and Boys of America
The dead alone could be laid shoulder to shoulder would stretch from the Gulf of Mexico through Louisiana, through Arkansas, through Missouri, through Iowa, through Minnesota to Canada! From our southern border to our northern border Laid shoulder to shoulder the dead would stretch from the outlet of the Mississippi to its source, and beyond! What of the other millions, blind, lame, incapacitated? They could stand with arms on each other's shoulders, a shining belt of manhood, from Sandy Hook to the Golden Gate But they will not stand anywhere again in strength and splen dor with arms on each other's shoul ders. They lie scattered in fields and forests, in villages and bleak cities. Boys who might have been great.
