Letters of a Nation is a unique and timeless collection of
extraordinary letters spanning more than 350 years of American
history, from the arrival of the Pilgrims to the present day. Many
of the more than 200 letters are published here for the first time,
and the correspondents are the celebrated and obscure, the powerful
and powerless, including presidents, slaves, soldiers, prisoners,
explorers, writers, revolutionaries, Native Americans, artists,
religious and civil rights leaders, and people from all walks of
life. From the serious (Harry Truman defending his use of the
atomic bomb) to the surreal (Elvis Presley to Richard Nixon on
fighting drugs in America), this collection of letters covers the
full spectrum of human emotion, illuminates the American
experience, and celebrates the simple yet lasting art of letter
writing.
