Download or read book America s Jubilee written by Andrew Burstein and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America's Jubilee distinguished historian Andrew Burstein presents an engrossing narrative that takes us back to a pivotal year in American history, 1826, when the reins of democracy were being passed from the last Revolutionary War heroes to a new generation of leaders. Through brilliant sketches of selected individuals and events, Burstein creates an evocative portrait of the hopes and fears of Americans fifty years after the Revolution. We follow an aged Marquis de Lafayette on his triumphant tour of the country; and learn of the nearly simultaneous deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the 4th of July. We meet the ornery President John Quincy Adams, the controversial Secretary of State Henry Clay, and the notorious hot-tempered General Andrew Jackson. We also see the year through the eyes of a minister's wife, a romantic novelist, and even an intrepid wheel of cheese. Insightful and lively, America's Jubilee captures an unforgettable time in the republic’s history, when a generation embraced the legacy of its predecessors and sought to enlarge its role in America’s story.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighty-Second Anniversary of American Independence Was quite a pleasant affair, and naturally attracted very much attention. But the excessive crowd made it less agreeable than it ought to have been. The Public Garden was opened at seven O'clock in the morning, and was not closed until seven in the evening. During those twelve hours thousands upon thousands of visitors entered the enclosure, exam ined into the condition of affairs, and left. At nine o'clock, A. M., the time of our first special observation, the human tide streamed in at the narrow gateway with a rush and turbulence appalling to witness. The officials were bewildered, and couldn't stand it at all. Ticket or no ticket, it was all the same. Fortunately in the gasping crowd at the entrance, there were none of the children for whose particular entertainment the garden had been Opened; their little lives would have been almost crushed out. The entrance accomplished, however, all was comfortable, though warm. The juveniles were amusing themselves by swinging, dancing, and so forth. Under a capacious tent the Germania Band furnished the music, to which the merry little footsteps kept time. In various parts of the garden, cameras obscuras, mammoth kaleidoscopes, and other mechan ical mysteries were exhibited. In the morning some fancy dances were indulged in, and at noon the song written by Dr. T. W. Parsons was sung. On the whole, however, the celebration was not what we had hoped to see. There were too many children of a larger growth constantly inter fering. It did not appear to be devoted to the juveniles, or to meet their wants. They could not have enjoyed it to any great extent, and as their enjoyment was the professed object, the project was rather a failure. May it have better luck next time.
