FIFTY YEARS AGO, by Loring Williams. This book was published by The American Weave Press of South Berwick, Maine in 1968. It includes poems first printed in 1937 as a reminder of the horror of World War I and warning of the world rushing toward "another cataclysm". The earlier book was called Twenty Years Ago in which Williams published poems he wrote as a soldier in that earlier War. This book supplements the earlier poems with newer ones that "complement" the originals. The 5 1/2" x 8 3/4", 44 page hardback book is in Very Good+ condition, with the cover showing little wear and the interior showing only lightly pencilled pricing and coding on the front free endpaper and one page with a corner crease.
