THIS LARGE ANTHOLOGY of very American, mostly hitherto un anthologized, material consistently reflects the peculiarly American ways of thinking and writing-rough, plain, sometimes coarse, often humorous. The early American made his own food, whisky, houses, clothing-all coarse, plain, and rough, but all of real quality. This homespun American carried a state of mind that seemed just as rough, as plain, and as coarse. He liked plain fare seasoned with salt, and our first philosopher, Ben Franklin, offered just the right combination: common sense and a dash of wit. From Benjamin Franklin to Robert Frost, Homespun America has been a way of laughing and crying, having fun, and thinking seriously. Wits, philosophers, politicians, preachers, presidents, clowns, painters, cooks, farmers, newspapermen, and all the ordinary men and women who produced Homespun America, make up this unique collection.
