If there is anything like a purebred AngloSaxon American. he is probably like Martin Arrowsmith. whom Sinclair Lewis described as a union of German. French. ScotchIrish. perhaps a little Spanish. conceivably a little of the strains lumped together as Jewish. and a great deal of English. which is itself a combination of primitive Briton. Celt. Phoenician. Roman. German. Dane. and Swede. For more than 400 years. starting with Christopher Columbus and his fellow voyagers. each wave of immigrants has brought something to add to the American story. There have been many great periods in American history. But only 1 year in its long and proud history is numbered 1920.
