The Americans
the national experience
by Daniel J. Boorstin
- 5 Want to read
Historical survey of America's self-discovery in the years between the Revolution and the Civil War.
Daniel J. Boorstin, one of America's great historians, focuses on American ingenuity and emergent nationalism in this middle book of the Americans trilogy, dealing with a period extending roughly from the Revolution to the Civil War. Like its two companion volumes, The National Experience is a sometimes quirky look at how certain patterns of living helped shape the character of the United States. The book simply overflows with ideas, all of them introduced in entertaining chapters on subjects such as the New England ice industry and the boomtowns of the Midwest. -- from http://www.amazon.ca (March 12, 2014).
