I was able to download an epub version of American Political and Social History from this link. Part of the problem is that it’s a 73 megabyte file. I’ve downloaded it to my iMac and now have uploaded it to my iCloud space. Now (I think) I’m importing it into my Marvin book reader where I shall be able to follow along with Mr. Flu as he reads the real thing (digital not being real-real) which I will be sending him as soon as I can.
Yes, I got it to work. This is obviously still riddled with some OCR mistakes. But it looks readable enough. Chapter 1 starts out with a short poem by Arthur Hugh Clough which itself is worthy of a discussion:

Judged that the earth like an orange was round?
None of them ever said, Come along, follow me.

In a nutshell, there was something different, even forward-looking (not the Hillary type of “Forward”) in Western man that was absent in other cultures. Instead of denigrating white people we should appreciate the fact that, unlike much of Africa and large parts of Asia, we’re not living in squalor like our great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents did.
