Copyrighted 1919, 1921, 1922, 1923
"History and Rymes of the Lost Battalion" by Lee Charles (L.C.) "Buck Private" McCollum, first published in 1919 as "Rhymes of a Lost Battalion Doughboy" by "Buck Private" McCollum. It changed and grew over the years and sold over 700,000 copies! It started as a 32 page book of poetry (even it's foreword is a poem) about his WWI military experiences as a member of the 77th and the Lost Battalion, with a two page story in the middle about the Lost Battalion followed by a 7 page poem on the same subject.
Book, for the age is in good condition. There is a page that has a torn corner as shown in photo above. Also, a crease on the page with Col. Whittlesey. (My relation)
81 pages, soft cover.
