Perhaps that may be what democracy really is, and possibly these plays do suggest a way or two that we may practice it. (from the intro). Fourteen plays about American democracy by such authors as Paul Green, Carl Carmer, Alfred Kreymborg; showing how we began, how it was tested, and how it works today (this was put together right around the time of Pearl Harbor.) The plays are mostly one act and arranged for the amateur production. Includes plays on Valley Forge, Lincoln, Davy Crockett, and other historical figures.
