Beschreibung
Many early Americans sought the opportunity to "make something of themselves"-not only to choose an occupation but to fulfill their potential, to engage in "self-improvement." This book reconstructs their project from the time of Jonathan Edwards and Benjamin Franklin to that of Abraham Lincoln, Margaret Fuller, and Frederick Douglass.
