About this audiobook
America, said Bernard Shaw, is a nation of villagers. Louis Raymond Reid takes the remark seriously and looks at the small town, noting that nearly every big-city man came from one.
The essay is wry about the places most Americans come from, and plain-spoken about what they are really like.
This essay comes from Civilization in the United States, a 1922 collection edited by Harold Stearns in which writers took stock of American life. It is read by Ryan Durham in thirty-eight minutes.
