Pindar: The Complete Works of Peter Leslie, the Lochgelly Poet

Pindar - The Complete Works of Peter Leslie is organised in three sections: Autobiography of a Private Soldier (published in 1877 by the Fife News in Cupar, Fife), giving an account of his life from birth (1836) until he came back from the army (1877); Random Rhymes (published in 1893 by Fife News), which is an anthology of his poems edited by The Rev. A.M. Houston, B.D., minister of Auchterderran; and, lastly, a collection of Pindar’s poems and songs gathered from The Cowdenbeath & Lochgelly Times & Advertiser (1895 to 1897) by James Campbell. As most of the pieces that appeared in local newspapers have not previously been included in any book, this is the first time that the complete works of Peter Leslie have been published.
