The American Patriots Almanac:
Daily Readings on America by John
Cribb
Fantastic Look At History
365 reasons to love America! The fife and drum of history mark the time
of each passing day. And within their cadence, personalities, conflicts,
discoveries, ideas, and nations peal and fade. American history is no
different. From the starving time of Jamestown during the Winter of 1609,
through the bloody argument of the Civil War, and to today, the United
States is a tale best told one day at a time.
Best-selling author and educator Dr. William J. Bennett is a master of
the story that is the United States. And in The American Patriots Almanac,
Bennett distills the American drama into three hundred sixty -five entries-
one for each day of the year. Fascinating in its detail and singular in its
grasp of the big themes, Bennetts Almanac will make anyone a fan of
history, assembling even some of the most obscure details. Even better, it
will make of everyone a patriot.
The American Patriots Almanac is a book of daily readings on America.
This book is filled with great stories of Americas history and her founding.
In addition to the daily readings there are informational sections which
include flag etiquette, The Declaration of Independence and The
Constitution of the United States, just to name a few.
I found this book to be an excellent reminder as to what the people of this
country have done in the past and present in order to give us the freedoms
that we hold dear. Many of the readings are heart-wrenching and inspire a
deeper sense of awe and patriotism. Some of the stories brought a tear to
my eye and was a reminder that we can only imagine what it was like to be
a signer of the Declaration, or fighting in the Civil War, or fighting for civil
rights.
The author seems to have performed extensive research for each of the
daily readings, including the timeline snippets at the end of each story. I
really enjoyed learning something new everyday. I would highly
recommend this book to all who enjoy history, or who just love America.
