Synopsis

Tale of a Copper Penny is about a penny that "experiences" the 20th Century from pre-WW1 through the early 1990s. As an anthropomorphic viewpoint, the penny provides a unique vantage point of how the United States went from a pre-industrial country to a mighty powerhouse with a man on the moon and beyond. Several cases underpin the reality of living in the United States, especially the mid-section of the country. Three generations of authors provide the cases that the penny experiences, using an oral history research model. Readers of all ages can either learn about 20th Century United States, or go down "memory lane" - or both!
