Beschreibung

Walking with Giants tells a personalized history of the United States from the 1850s to the turn of the century, from the agrarian Union at the start of the story to a burgeoning global power at its end, through four of John Hay's remarkable friendships: with Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Henry James, and Theodore Roosevelt.
