FREE: Dear America, Dreams in the Golden Country

The listing, Dear America, Dreams in the Golden Country has ended.

Hardback in very good condition. I have noticed some crackling down the spine but the inside is as good as new. This is The Diary of Zipporah Feldman, A Jewish Immigrant Girl, New York City, 1903.

March 11, 1904

I forgot to tell you that yesterday Boris said to me, "Well, Zippy, maybe some play that is coming up will need children and you can audition." I said, "From your mouth to God's ears, Boris!" Now I can think of nothing else. I told Miriam last night in bed my secret dreams of wanting to become an actress. She squeezed my hand. It was a squeeze that seemed to say we both have secret dreams, mine the theater and hers love. Then she said, "What is it about this country that makes one dream such big dreams?" I yawned sleepily and said, yes, I knew what she meant, and look at Tovah with her union dreams. There is something in the air here in America that does this to people.
