Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a thoughtful examination of the American provincial experience. The author, a thoughtful provincial American, offers a unique perspective on the differences between East and West in America. He draws on his own life in Indiana to illustrate his points, but these are not merely personal reminiscences. Rather, they are examples of broader American trends and experiences. The book delves into the idea that every American county is, in a sense, complete, a political and social unit, in which the sovereign rights of a free people are expressed by the court-house and town hall, Spiritual freedom by the village church-Spire, and hope and aspiration in the school -house. Everywhere east of Buffalo, the author is known as a Westerner, and he is most comfortable in a town whose population does not exceed a fifth of a million, a place in which men may relinquish their seats in the street car to women without having their motives questioned, and where one calls the stamp -clerk at the post office by his first name. The book is full of humor and insight, and it offers a valuable corrective to the often-held view that the only real America is to be found in the big cities. The author shows that there is a rich and varied culture to be found in the provinces, and that it is an essential part of the American experience.
