Sizing Up Uncle Sam: Vestpocket Essays (Not Especially Serious) On the United States (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Sizing Up Uncle Sam: Vestpocket Essays (Not Especially Serious) On the United States
For the past three years I have been writing little bun dles of words on various themes ranging from Hope to Hash and from Cabbages to Kings. George Matthew Adams, the Syndicate Man, is really the one to blame because he made me do it, but if the reader forgives him, so do I.
Among the thousand-odd subjects upon which I have written, very many have pertained to the United States, its glories and peculiarities, due to the fact that I am seven teen-tenths American myself. I have decided to bale up a collection of these so that the reader may soak up, at one sitting, incredible amounts of information regarding his native land.
