FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Websters American Dictionary is the second most popular book ever printed in English. But who was Webster? Noah Webster (1758–1843) was a bookish Connecticut farm boy who became obsessed with uniting America through language. He spent twenty years writing two thousand pages to accomplish that.
