"In the twenty-eight essays and biographical sketches that make up this volume, Lee M. Friedman writes of a hitherto neglected phase of American history -- of the impact of the Jew, his language and culture on the events, movements and personalities in our country from colonial days to the present."

NOTEE: (Wikipedia) -- Lee Max Friedman (1871 – 1957) was a Jewish-American lawyer and politician from Massachusetts. He owned one of the largest collections of Jewish and Jewish-related books and manuscripts in the country, including the manuscript of Émile Zola's J'Accuse...! In 1905, he was in charge of the celebrations in Boston to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the settlement of Jews in America, and in 1955 he was the main speaker at Symphony Hall, Boston to commemorate the 300th anniversary. Deeply interested in Jewish American history, he became associated with the American Jewish Historical Society in 1903, served as its president from 1948 to 1953, and became its honorary president in 1953. He contributed a number of articles and notes for the Publications of the American Jewish Historical Society on a wide range of subjects and published a number of volumes on Jewish history. He presented books and manuscripts to the American Jewish Historical Society, and a bequest in his will helped the Society to establish its own headquarters adjourning Brandeis University.
