Summary: [Focusing on less sensational times in U.S. history (non-war and pre-Depression) James Sturm's America draws a portrait of the people and their dreams that make up this country. Comprised of three chapters--The Revival, Hundreds of Feet Below Daylight, and The Golem's Mighty Swing--the story grows as the country grows; from pioneers searching for a place to call home, to ghost towns gutted by greed and racism, to the distractions and fantasies of popular entertainment.] -- Tomado de drawnandquarterly.com
