Mr. Adams, apparently, coined the phrase "the American Dream," and his 1931 text is the first place the now hackneyed phrase appears in print as a freighted concept implying security, safety, healthy nuclear families and home-ownership. This claim may be in error, but I have found nothing that contradicts it.
