Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Land of Promise: An Account of the Material and Spiritual Unity of America The need of a change of scene to recover from the effects of a breakdown during studies took me for several years away from home to some of the less bustling scenes of life in the United States. I also undertook duties for a while in the dry and sunny climate of the Rocky Mountain area, and subsequently visited the Pacific Coast and New England. Before leaving America I spent a rather adventurous year in New York. This book is the result of an attempt to write of these scenes, and of the people and their ideals, in that perspective of the history of mankind in which the United States are the Romance of a New World, associating new faiths and ideals and experiences with a new material occupation of territory. A New World here mostly means a new experience in the attempt to solve problems of life common to all the world, but here adventured upon in a new civic faith, with the aid of new ideals, and, in a civic sense, thus, with the inspiration of a new religion.
