Dear Readers:

I'd just like to remind you, our faithful and devout fans, about the purpose of this magazine and why it came into existence. After enduring a tumultuous Depression and a cruel, second World War, I felt it was an appropriate time to create something so that America's past can be remembered and adorned for and by future audiences.  Our American past is something we, as Americans, should take pride in, and I really felt it would a shame if everything that has been happening for the last half century in our nation was to be ignored or worst, forgotten, by the American people.  So, after much planning and investing, I was able to publish a magazine dedicated to inform readers about the people and events that make up 20th Century America. I hope this magazine is able to preserve and keep on the art, literature, fashions, and other aspects that have made the first 50 years of this century.  Anyways, I hope you readers have been reading up on the last twenty two issues and got a good glimpse of American history.  I present to you Issue #21 of 20th Century America.  In this issue we will be exploring history in a new perspective, through the different perspectives of notable American men of the 20th Century.  In this issue we will be exploring the diaries and thoughts of the baseball players, Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth, the author, Ernest Hemingway, the boxer Sugar Ray Robinson, and the jazz musician, Louis Armstrong.  I thought what better way to look at the events, fashions, and technology of the century than to look at them through the people who actually witnessed and experienced them.  I trust these American legends can provide you readers a glimpse of what it was like at their time.  I hope you enjoy this issue as much as I do and I hope we can can keep the history on as we continue history with the last half of the century.

                                                                                                                                                      The Editor
