The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"What does it mean to be an American?" asks Daniel J. Boorstin at the beginning of this book, in which he takes an exciting new look at American History.
"What has been especially American about our ways of living and of earning a living? Our ways of making war and making peace? Our ways of thinking and hoping and fearing, of worshiping God and fighting the Devil? Our ways of traveling and politicking, of importing people, of building houses and cities? These are some of the questions I try to answer in this book."
From the earliest colonists to the men and women of the Civil War, Mr. Boorstin shows how people from everywhere created a New World—and how the New World turned people from everywhere into Americans.
