The American Jew
AS
Patriot, Soldier and Citizen
By HON. SIMON WOLF
Edited by LOUIS EDWARD LEVY
This timely work on a timely topic, called forth by recent magazine discussions regarding the position of Jewish citizens as patriots and as soldiers, contains an alphabetical register and numerous detailed notices of American citizens of the Jewish faith who have been enrolled in the armies of the country from the earliest period of American history to the present time, including those in the Confederate armies during the War for the Union.
In elucidation of this subject there are included in this volume, besides a prefatory introduction by the author, a number of historical papers on the part taken by American Jews in the upbuilding of this Republic, and a special contribution on the same subject in relation to the South American Countries, the West Indies and Canada. The book furthermore contains a carefully collated series of articles, discussions and letters bearing upon the question at issue, from eminent Christian writers and publicists of Europe and America, and a brief but comprehensive review of the subject of the Russian Jewish immigrants.
The various matters are successively prefaced with introductory references by the editor, and the book affords a thorough and complete refutation of the falsities and misstatements regarding Jewish citizenship which have been put forth from time to time through ignorance, bigotry or selfish interest.
This work has been undertaken by the author in response to suggestions arising out of recently published contentions on this subject, and THE NET PROFITS OF ITS SALE ARE DEVOTED WHOLLY AND EXCLUSIVELY TO THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE HEBREW ORPHAN'S HOME, ESTABLISHED IN ATLANTA, GA., under the auspices of the Order of B'nai B'rith, of which Mr. Wolf is President.
The work contains 592 pages large octavo, bound in cloth, blue back and gray sides, and is offered at the low price of $2.00 per copy.
