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.

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.
The Man Without a Country Edward Everett Hale Books
With all the whining and complaining about our great nation, with the unconstitutional by laws to the corruption in the FBI, we are still the best place in the world who many have fought and died for. Every child, student and adult American should read this. It should be required to graduate. But now with our dumbed down schools can many people read such profound writing and understand it? I pray it is still possible.Product details

The Man Without a Country Edward Everett Hale Books Reviews
This is a good book for pre-adolescent and teen-aged persons, however, not for the adult or mature adult. As a mature adult, I would have liked more background information and probably would select a different book with this one either attached or referenced to. My 26 year old son found it much more interesting than I did, not really having heard of or known the story before.
In today's political climate, this book probably should be required reading in the early high school years, however, I'm afraid you'd have too much bickering over the political correctness of it. (As there is over prayer in the schools today.)
It reminds us of what we do have, how often we take what we have for granted. I was not entirely happy with the way the story is presented and the ending, but would recommend others read it for the message it gives.
This is a classic story that every educated person should read if they have not already read it. I read it when I was a school boy and I enjoy reading it again as an adult. It was written during the Civil War about an incident that happened much earlier. But it is still a story whose theme applies to today's situation.
The Man Without A Country by Edward Everett Hale is a classic tale worth reading, or in my case reading again. It tells the story of a young Army officer that's makes a rash statement and lives with the results of it. I recall seeing a movie made from this story and reading the story many years ago. When searching for content, I came across the story combined with several additional stories by Hale. My interest was only in the title work, but I did read several of the other included stories and they are okay but not as good as The Man Without a Country. Given that the book was free, I have absolutely no complaints and can heartily recommend to others.
I recently read a letter to the editor in the Washington Post where the writer said she believed that it was time to dissolve the Union into at least two separate countries. That's when the quote from President Jackson came to mind. Even though a slave holder and from the South, he recognized the unspeakable value of our Federal Union.
Around the same time, a friend mentioned "The Man Without a Country," this short story which originally appeared in The Atlantic in 1863. The first time I tried to read this, I suppose when I was in high school or college, I didn't finish it. Now I understand the message better. The story was written during the Civil War and is just as important today. This Federal Union is of such incredible value that people from across the world have come here or want to come here to enjoy the blessings of liberty. What was achieved by the Founders and all who followed who build and preserved the Union is beyond measure. This great achievement has brought freedom and prosperity to many, despite our failures and weaknesses. These failures call us to work to improve what we have, not to abandon it. Philip Nolan, the man without a country, came to realize this.
"Love of country is a sentiment so universal that it is only on sure rare occasions as called this book into being [the Civil War] that there is any need of discussing or justifying it." (Edward Everett Hale, p. 40)
One of the few books that were required reading when I was in school and which I have never forgotten. The message remains unchanged and the need of the message is even more needed today than when I read it. I bought it for a grandchild -- their parents feed, clothe, house, and buy toys for our grandchildren, and I think we're here to "fill in the blanks" like the need for this book for another generation.
The Man Without A Country is a story I first read when I was in the 5th grade - it made a lasting impression on me. I was delighted to find it in this book form. I gave it to my grandson for Christmas. He is eleven years old, reads all the time, and has an appreciation for the written word. So this was perfect. Alhough it is written in a much more formal language than what today's youth is used to, is easy to understand. And it is short enough to keep an 11 year old's attention. This was part of my English education and I would consider it a "must read" for an appreciation of literature. The way this book is presented is perfect for an adolescent. And the story is a lesson in the words we may have to live by, when said in the heat of anger, and the repercussions that this can have on a lifetime. Obviously, I would highly recommend this. My next purchase for my grandson will be "To Build A Fire" by Jack London. I will get it from as well. I am constantly amazed at how well they have anticipated the public's taste with their products. I am always very pleased.
I read this book when I was in high school. I graduated in 1953. One day while cleaning, a poem popped into my head "Breathes there man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, "This is my own my native land.....I couldn't remember the whole poem but did remember the name of the book. I wanted to read it again. and was able to get it through . It should be mandatory reading for youth as well as adults today. A strong message regarding patriotism.....
With all the whining and complaining about our great nation, with the unconstitutional by laws to the corruption in the FBI, we are still the best place in the world who many have fought and died for. Every child, student and adult American should read this. It should be required to graduate. But now with our dumbed down schools can many people read such profound writing and understand it? I pray it is still possible.
