The Young American: A Civic Reader (1897) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163973233)

The Young American: A Civic Reader is a book written by Harry Pratt Judson and published in 1897. The book is intended to be a guide for young Americans to understand the principles of citizenship and civic responsibility. It is a collection of essays, speeches, and other writings by notable figures such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of civic life: the individual, the family, the community, and the nation. The essays cover topics such as the importance of education, the role of government, and the responsibilities of citizenship. The book was written during a time of great change in American society, as the country was rapidly industrializing and expanding its influence on the world stage. Judson's book reflects this changing landscape and provides a roadmap for young Americans to navigate the challenges of the modern world with a strong sense of civic duty and responsibility. The Young American: A Civic Reader remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, politics, and civic life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
