Almost a decade ago, author and educator William J. Bennett and
John T. E. Cribb published a 365-day almanac of our nation's
history. Now, in this updated and expanded series compiled from The
American Patriot's Almanac, Bennett and Cribb's masterful grasp of
our history offers 150 more great Americans. Our history is a
heritage we Americans all share. It ties us together, like a common
language or currency. Knowing that heritage helps us understand the
central principles underlying American democracy and our
responsibilities in passing them on to the next generation. At a
time when so many seem to be losing sight of our identity as a
nation, it's more important than ever to remember our heritage, not
only so we can know who we are today, but to set us on the right
path for the future. From the letters of Abigail Adams to the
adventures of William Penn, 150 Great Americans sheds light on:
Incredible stories Larger-than-life personalities Fun facts,
discoveries, and new perspectives In these easy-to-digest entries,
historical Americans reemerge not as marble icons or names in a
textbook, but as full-blooded, heroic pioneers whose far-reaching
vision forged our nation, connecting you to this great nation's
heritage.
