Seeing into the Soul of America
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Excellent book. Albert has created an unusual, interesting and sympathetic protagonist who takes us on a bumpy ride through turn-of-the-century America. During our travels we explore some of the fundamental forces that shaped our country -- immigration, the spirit of the great West, and the tug of rugged individualism versus socialist demands for collective protection of human rights -- forces that still resonate loudly today. We meet some mighty interesting characters, too. Albert has a flair for creating vibrant scenes and authentic dialogue. A great deal of careful research obviously went into the creation of this work, which bears fruit in historical authenticity and realism. This book will grow in stature as it is discovered by more readers.
