''An American Nobility'' is a book written by William Lord Reed and published in 1920. The book explores the concept of an American aristocracy, examining the ways in which wealth and social status have been accumulated and passed down through generations in the United States. Reed argues that while America may not have a traditional nobility based on titles and land ownership, there is still a class system in place that creates a hierarchy of power and privilege. He looks at the history of wealthy families in America, tracing their rise to prominence and the ways in which they have maintained their status over time. The book also delves into the cultural and societal factors that contribute to the creation and perpetuation of this elite class, including education, social clubs, and political influence. Overall, ''An American Nobility'' offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex dynamics of wealth and power in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
