About this audiobook

Young as America is, she is old enough to remember when nobody had nerves. Alfred B. Kuttner traces how nerves came into American life. The early settlers, he notes, died of hunger, cold and sudden illness, and nervous trouble was not part of their world. He asks what changed. This essay comes from Civilization in the United States, a 1922 collection edited by Harold Stearns. Read by Ryan Durham in forty-six minutes.
