The Twilight of Self Reliance - Frontier Values and Contemporary America (Paperback)


We can refresh ourselves with our own best image, and renew our image of America: not as Perfection, not as Heaven on Earth, not as New Jerusalem, but as flawed glory and exhilarating task.' –-from The Twilight of Self-Reliance: Frontier Values and Contemporary America
