Description: * G. K. Chesterton's fascinating account of his first trip to America * Includes a Preface and Introduction to Chesterton and his works by author Stephen Reuel G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer of every sort in which his wit could flourish and his style could shine; and whose goodness in his adventuring for truth is so lacking in the common rancour of today. 'Americans are very patriotic, and wish to make their new citizens patriotic Americans. But it is the idea of making a new nation literally out of any old nation that comes along,' Chesterton concludes after his first visit in 1921. For 'what is unique is not America but what is called Americanisation.'
