Hi all,
I looked for Adams's book The Epic of America in some large libraries in my city but it's not available. Is there an ebook for it?
I just want the page number where he gives this definition of the American Dream:
" dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."
And the page number for this quote:
“That dream or hope has been present from the start. Ever since we became an independent nation, each generation has seen an uprising of ordinary Americans to save that dream from the forces which appeared to be overwhelming it.”
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED
THANK YOU :cry:
