Selected Letters of P. T. Barnum

Informationen zum Autor Fiona Venn is senior lecturer in history at the University of Essex. Klappentext This textbook offers a chronological introduction to the New Deal that incorporates material on events and developments outside in addition to within Washington D.C. as well as popular reaction to the new policies. To provide a broader international context! Venn draws comparisons between American and European responses to the depression and provides explanations of American institutions and traditions. Zusammenfassung Saxon brings together more than 300 letters written by the self-styled "Prince of Humbugs." Here we see him! opinionated and exuberant! with only the rarest flashes of introspection and self-doubt! haggling with business partners! blustering over politics! and attempting to get such friends as Mark Twain to endorse his latest schemes.
