| | Edward Bellamy - Looking Backward |
 | | Edward Bellamy was born March 26, 1850, in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, and spent most of his life in this industrial town on the banks of the beautiful Connecticut River, called Chicopee, "river of elms" by the Indians. |
 | | Bellamy, like St. Francis, proved that the proverb does not always hold true that the prophet is without honor in his own country, since all manner and classes of Americans were inspired and endorsed his plan when his book was originally published in 1888. |
 | | Very simply, I believe Edward Bellamy is telling us that in the Ideal World that he envisions for humankind, everyone on earth will consider everyone living on the earth, regardless of race, nation, religion, color, family, etc. as members of their own physical families, and will treat them as such. |
