...decorate graves, fancy fiddling and a twanging Jew's-harp reverberate through a winter barn dance. Turkey in the Straw, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, Camptown Races-Ives borrowed quotes from the sound track of his youth. Beneath this patriotic gloss, his own thorny rhythms and free-form counterpoint combine to create music that remains imaginatively American...

But in the final chapter, when Thompson soared into a free-form essay on myth as futurology, his intent became clear: he is a man questing for evidence of man's perfectibility...
