Description
xMACKINLAY KANTOR
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Andersonville
THIS NOVEL WAS THE BASIS FOR THE 1943 FILM
HAPPY LAND
"Hail, Columbia, happy land
Hail, ye heroes, heav'n-born band-"
Happy Land is about Rusty Marsh, and the life he lived. It is about ordinary folks, and how they came to be brave. It is the record of a civilization which strengthens itself with Boy Scouts and bob-rides, with public high schools and neighborly kindnesses, with churches and drug stores and cornfields and Indian stories-with the simple fare of American life which once seemed dull and now holds bewitching beauty. This civilization must not perish from our land or from this earth. It will not perish while one Rusty Marsh is alive to fight for it.
