Publisher's Synopsis

The Great American Myth, written by George Sands Bryan, is a thought-provoking examination of the myths and symbols that have come to define the American identity. Bryan argues that these myths, such as the idea of the ""American Dream"" and the myth of the rugged individualist, are deeply ingrained in American culture and have shaped the country's history and political discourse.Throughout the book, Bryan explores the origins and evolution of these myths, tracing their roots back to the earliest days of American history. He also examines the ways in which these myths have been used to justify everything from westward expansion to the War on Terror.Despite the weighty subject matter, The Great American Myth is written in an accessible and engaging style, making it an ideal read for anyone interested in American history or culture. Whether you're a scholar or a casual reader, this book will challenge your assumptions about what it means to be American and help you better understand the forces that have shaped the country's past and present.The True Story Of Lincoln's Murder.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
