Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Spirit in the Writings of Americans of Foreign Birth
Nearly all the selections included in this volume will be found charged with a strong human quality, revealing the poignant Wickness of the stranger in a new world, his sensitiveness, his forward-looking hope, his realization of both the humorous and the tragic side of his case, his fine hero-worship, his firm belief in the unique mission and high destiny of his adopted country, and his faith in the brother hood of man and the dawning of a new day upon the earth.
