Max Fischer Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Worthy of removal from the list: "American Cookery" by Amelia Simmons (1796) "The American Woman's Home" by Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe (1869) "And the Band Played On" by Randy Shilts (1987) "Beloved" by Toni Morrison (1987) "Family Limitation" by Margaret Sanger (1914) "The Fire Next Time" by James Baldwin (1963) "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown (1947) "Harriet, the Moses of Her People" by Sarah H. Bradford (1901) "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg (1956) "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" by Frederick Douglass (1845) "Peter Parley's Universal History" by Samuel Goodrich (1837) "Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett (1929) "Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey (1912) "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats (1962) "Spring and All" by William Carlos Williams (1923) "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert E. Heinlein (1961) "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston (1937) "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith (1943) "The Weary Blues" by Langston Hughes (1925) "The Words of Cesar Chavez" by Cesar Chavez (2002) Many of these are revisionist takes on what shaped America, unfortunately. I sincerely doubt those I have chosen had a tremendous impact during the periods they were published and read. "The Words of Cesar Chavez" is really embarrassing as an addition. To not include Alfred Thayer Mahan, Theodore Roosevelt or Francis Parkman is an utter joke.... no The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, are you serious???? The Oregon Trail and Winning the West should be included also!!!!! Where is Edgar Allan Poe? Another mind-boggling omission. I bet you're fun a parties.

The Oregon Trail and Winning the West should be included also!!!!! Where is Edgar Allan Poe? Another mind-boggling omission. Poe wrote stories, not books. And I disagree with your first one on your list. That book is huge with regard to it's importance to American cooking. It was the first book to be published using American products. Many ingredients we take for granted today were not available prior to the discovery of the new world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
