Worth every penny

This is the first original English book I read in whole and I enjoyed reading it very much. Of course it is not enough to know America in such a short account. But for anyone as I was who is new to the States and its language, this book is a wonderful start. Its language is kinda poetic and fit for telling the westward stories that was before the big crash in 1929. Recommended for foreigners beginning to study English and History of the US.
