Rather than add to these volumes, \u003cem\u003eThe Epic of America\u003c\/em\u003e paints a sweeping picture of the diverse past that has created America's national story. In this important narrative, James Truslow Adams reviews how the ordinary American has matured over time in outlook, character, and opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdams grew increasingly conscious of how different an American is now from the man or woman of any other advanced nation. He is equally interested in the whole of American history, how it began, and what it represented in the first half of the twentieth century. Adams traces the historical origins of the American concept of \"bigger and better,\" attitudes toward business, the American Dream, and other characteristics generally considered \"typically American.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEver since America became an independent nation, each generation has seen an uprising of its citizens to save the American Dream from forces seeking to overwhelm and dispel it. Possibly the greatest of these struggles is still ahead--not a struggle of revolutionists against established order, but of the ordinary person who seeks to hold fast to the rights of \"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\" This classic book is valuable for a new age and as important for this new century as it was when originally written.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 454\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 17, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52624062513459,"sku":"9781412847438","price":115.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UTYzNGtwWXRhclQ4SVdEZkFKSS9adz09.webp?v=1761994610","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-epic-of-america-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
