BEARD, ANNIE E.S. Our Foreign-Born Citizens
Thomas Y Crowell & Co. 1955. Ex-Library. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Usual library markings, shelf wear, some cover scraping & staining, pages toned. "Most Americans are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. The American Indian can safely trace all the roots of his family tree back to their source in the soil of America. And scholars tell us that even the Indian probably immigrated in prehistoric times, coming into the western hemisphere over a land bridge that once connected the Americans with Asia. Unfortunately, people whose families have llived in this country for two, three, four, or more generations sometimes tend to forget these facts. They assume that length of stay has given them certain privileges - certain virtues even - which later comers cannot share. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. Early comers and late, all have contributed to the greatness of America, and all must share in its privileges if our country is to remain a great one.".
