Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Accident There are two kinds of people: small-town folks, and others. The others are inclined to think of the people of the small towns as men and women of narrow horizons and narrow interests and a vast ignorance of such important things as cocktails. But, as a matter of fact, the people who dwell in the little mid-western cities and towns are your real cosmopolites. They know their own country, east, west, north and south, at firsthand. The reason for this is simple. When a city dweller goes to the country, he is careful to remain a city dweller; but when a small-town man goes to the city, he becomes a city man for as long as he is within the city´s gates. Your Bostonian knows Boston, has a smattering of New York, and a talking acquaintance with London. Your New Yorker knows New York - perhaps; and he desires to know nothing else. But the men and women of Hardiston, for example, know New York, and they know Boston - and they prefer Hardiston with a steadfast and unshakable preference. This little town of Hardiston - it is really no town at all, since the last census showed it with a population above the five thousand mark, and so entitled it to be called a city - stands on a plateau above Salt Creek, and it is overlooked by a circle of hills, and at three corners of the town the gaunt, black iron furnaces stand sentry at the gates.
