Poems by a World War Two soldier from Charlotte, N.C. Poems include "My Home Town" (about Charlotte, N.C.) and "Hitler Is Dead" ("Adolph Hitler was his name, Started out young seeking fame, For our war he is to blame. Loved his country and Hitler too, Killed the innocent and the Jew.Now Hitler is plenty mad. Losing all the battles ain't that sad. Puts a pistol to his head, Pulls the trigger, there goes the lead, Adolph Hitler he is dead." Mr. Clanton seems to have come from the J. Gordon Coogler School of Verse. I hope that he kept his day job whatever that may have been. Signed by the author inside the front cover: "To.Friend and Soldier, L.C. Clanton." Scarce. Not in Thornton. First edition.
