It Can Be Done.

Joseph Morris Bachelor (1889 - 1947) and St. Clair Adams (1883 - )

It can be done. This is a volume of inspirational poems. Its purpose is to bring men courage and resolution, to cheer them, to fire them with new confidence when they grow dispirited, to strengthen their faith that THINGS CAN BE DONE. It is better for this purpose than the entire works of any one poet, for it takes the cream of many and has greater diversity than any one writer can show. - Summary by the Authors
