Inscribed by the author: "G.A. Cunningham, Jr. with the
kindest regards of the Author. Colon, P.I. 1893." The
author, James Stanley Gilbert, worked in the isthmus of
Panama starting in 1886 for the Panama Railroad
Company, later becoming an agent for a steamship
company. He was one of the first Americans to write
about pre-canal Panama, and was known as "The Poet of
Panama." While his poetry was both popular and wellregarded in a Kiplingesque-manner, his status as a
businessman-poet hurt his reputation with critics
generally. Although his later book, Panama Patchwork, was
re-issued many times (thirteen printings between 1906
-1935), this title is very uncommon, especially signed.
