Throughout the book, Bok emphasizes the importance of hard work, determination, and perseverance in achieving success in America. He also highlights the role of education in empowering individuals to achieve their goals and contribute to society. Overall, The Americanization of Edward Bok is a fascinating and inspiring account of one man's journey to achieve the American Dream. It provides a valuable insight into the immigrant experience and the opportunities and challenges that come with pursuing success in America.Afterward, Edward found out that, as a matter of fact, it was the President's only copy. Though the boy did not then appreciate this act of consideration, his instinct fortunately led him to copy the speech and leave the original at the President's stopping-place in the morning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
