An Original American Version Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by The Internet Archive "New House That Jack Built. An Original American Version" by L. Whitehead is a poetic and allegorical work written in the mid-19th century, reflecting the social and political climate of the post-Civil War United States. The book explores themes of liberty, labor, and patriotism through an imaginative narrative that personifies various societal elements. It likely aims to convey a message about the importance of free labor and the democratic ideals that underpin the nation. The narrative follows a character named Jack, who symbolizes the industrious laborer and patriotic citizen. He is depicted as building a grand "Temple of Freedom," which serves as a metaphor for the newly established ideals of equality and liberty in America. Throughout the poem, Jack faces various antagonists, such as personified oppression and aristocracy, which he must confront to protect the Temple. The story culminates in a celebration of the union of Free Labor and Liberty, symbolizing a new era of hope and progress for the nation. Woven with vivid imagery and a sense of optimism, the work serves as a tribute to the sacrifices made for freedom and the collective strength of the American people.
