''Everything Was Better in America reminds us that most people reacted to the Great Depression not by stepping off a ledge, robbing a bank, or joining the Communist Party. Most often Americans responded to the crisis in culturally conservative ways, reconfiguring and reasserting old national beliefs and dreams. David Welky gives us a fascinating portrait of the era with important insights about culture and history. This is fine history and a good read.'' Elliott J. Gorn, professor of history and chair of the Department of American Civilization, Brown University
