Panama Roughneck Ballads (1912)

By John Hall

Book Overview

Panama Roughneck Ballads is a collection of poems written by John Hall and published in 1912. The book is a tribute to the men who worked on the Panama Canal during its construction. The poems are written in a colloquial style that captures the spirit of the rough and tumble life of the workers. The book is divided into two sections, the first of which focuses on the work itself, while the second section deals with the everyday life of the workers. The poems are written in a variety of forms, including ballads, sonnets, and free verse. The themes of the poems range from the dangers of the work to the camaraderie of the men. The book is a unique glimpse into a fascinating period of American history and a tribute to the men who made the Panama Canal possible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
