Table of ContentsReviewsPatriotic in the best and broadest, nonpartisan, and large-spirited sense. -- Booklist The American Reader is a splendid collection of the words and sentiments that have shaped our nation. It belongs in every American home. -- E. D. Hirsch, author of Cultural Literacy This unique multicultural patchwork of political and literary American writ-ings-some famous, some virtually unknown-is a treasure. -- USA Today Far more than a marvelous collection of text and images, Ravitch's anthology is also a journey through the American democratic experience.
