Description: American Greats offers compelling evidence of the courage and character, invention and resilience, that helps define this nation. It's about action and, therefore, character. It celebrates what the late Commissioner of Baseball, Bart Giamatti described as "that compound whose mix forms the American character-of moral energy and pragmatic efficiency, optimism and guile, respect for law, admiration for the maverick, and love of the underdog." This book, finally, is about the never-ending American story: possibility.
