The Age of Astonishment: John Morris in the Miracle Century--From the Civil War to the Cold War Morris Bill
An acclaimed journalist and novelist makes history personal, painting a rich and vivid portrait of the time when America become modern by tracing the life of one man who lived through it.It all began with a black-and-white family snapshot of a distinguished elderly gentleman with a fine head of spun-sugar hair.
