Michener's USA is a panoramic celebration of America in the second half of the twentieth century, a uniquely personal view of its history, its dreams, its fears, its struggles, and its ambitions. James Michener, world-famous author, has been exploring the land ever since he began hitchhiking from his hometown, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, nearly three-quarters of a century ago. In the tradition of de Tocqueville, Whitman, Dos Passos, and Steinbeck, Michener documents the vitality and restless energy of the people, the diversity of communities and lifestyles, the spirit of freedom and innovation, and the problems that Americans will face in the eighties and beyond. Combining superb illustrations with a series of reports, analyses, sketches, and interviews, this magnificent volume surveys five separate sections - the Northeast, the Midwest, the Southwest, the Far West, and the New South. The distinct character of each region and the special personality of each major city and cultural area are drawn with accuracy and sensitivity. From Ellis Island to the Alaskan pipeline, from the New England town meeting to the Cajun festivals of Louisiana, from the bustling streets of Chicago to the tranquil farm country of Iowa, from the land of the Navaho to Twain's Mississippi, from ghost town to boom town, here is the variety, the beauty, the genius, the promise of America. Michener discusses important issues with prominent Americans - former astronaut Michael Collins, civil rights leader Coretta King, Lee Iacocca of the Chrysler Corporation, Joseph Papp of the New York Shakespeare Festival, and Mayor Kevin White of Boston. He has also delved into the hearts of countless ordinary people - a Maine lobsterman, a Wyoming rancher, an Oregon logger, a college president, a newspaper publisher, a Yale student, a farmer, a school teacher, a new immigrant - to discover a land of many different Americas, each with its own cherished traditions, each sharing in the national identity. Produced in conjunction with the five-part television series, James Michener's USA," this brilliant impressionist portrait reaffirms the grandeur of the land and fundamental optimism and faith in the American experience shared by its citizens, without evading the difficulties and the uncompleted tasks that lie ahead. Readers will treasure this fresh, contemporary view of the United States and will be reminded of their rich heritage and the opportunities and responsibilities still before them." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…
