The Hypomanic Edge by Bill Bryson
Before the first anti-immigration sentiment started in the early teens, America was open borders. The people who came are willing to say, Hey, my home country where my family has been for five centuries. So basically we were creating a bunch of risk-seeking muts. There's a great book by Bill Bryson, America, a summer of 1927. If you haven't already yet, man, read it. Because he does such a great job as a storyteller that you just can't wait.
