This hard-to-find book is a thought-provoking collection of poems about history and those who lived it. Poet Violette Newton received many honors for her poems, including Poet Laureate of Texas in 1973. Her poems show a different side of the famous, such as 12-year-old Paul Revere applying for a job as bell ringer at Old North Church and Alexander Graham Bell writing a book so deaf children can learn to read aloud. She also writes about ordinary people, such as Miss Mattie who climbed to the highest spot in her house--the attic--to survive the 1900 Galveston flood. As the poet notes in her introduction: "History vanishes too quickly, like a train in the night,unless we capture it for those who come after." Many of the poems are about Texas. 62 pages.
