The Handbook for Americans
Out of Many, One : A Book to Benefit the People
Reviewed by Rae C.
This is a great little handbook- perhaps intended for those studying for citizenship; but I think all Americans would benefit from reading this. It is exactly moderate, middle of the line, the things that anyone would agree are the common story and ideals of this country. Of course, liberals will probably find it too conservative, and conservatives will find it too liberal. But it is complete, concise, and has the most important elements, while being mostly inclusive. One glaring omission is a representation of the Native Americans. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth are represented in speeches, but no Native Americans. This seems like the books one oversight. However, very worth reading and an excellent resource!
