This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
A Straight Deal; Or the Ancient Grudge Or the Ancient Grudge Owen Wister Books
This is a polemic (or series of polemics) written to make Americans less hostile toward the British before and after the US entered World War I on their side. The author does his best (which is pretty good) to explain (away) contemporary British customs Americans might find offensive. (No balance - the Germans are heathens or worse in his book.) As such it's a window more into British than American ways: author says British reticence is a big turn-off. What a British subject of 1918 would say about Page Three girls and lager louts (Wister points to American "coarseness") does not bear thinking about.Best part is in the first chapter, where a correspondent tells Wister what it would take for Americans to get along with the British: have a bigger navy. Accurate, that.
