Book Synopsis Letters from an American Farmer and Other Essays by : J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur
Book excerpt: Published in London just as the idea of an “American” was becoming a reality, Letters introduced Europeans to America’s landscape, customs, and then-new people. Moore’s reader’s edition situates these twelve letters, which shift from hope to disillusion, in the context of thirteen other essays representative of Crèvecoeur’s writings in English.
