DOC The Revolution's Last Men: The Soldiers Behind the Photographs by Don N. Hagist in History

Description

What does it mean to think; believe; and act like an American? Get the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution; the Bill of Rights; and other important United States historical documents all in one book! The soul of America is far more than a concept—it is a people. Even the most sacred principles mean very little unless lived out passionately by an informed citizenry. In The Portable Patriot you’ll find a carefully assembled sampling of American history’s most formative words; written by the people who made that extraordinary history—George Washington; Alexander Hamilton; Benjamin Franklin; and many more of America's Founding Fathers. Speeches and sermons; essays and extracts; poems and proclamations illumine such values as independence; virtue; humility; bravery; thrift; prayer; enterprise; liberty; and reliance on God. While peering back to the cradle of America’s national identity; The Portable Patriot also points a way forward; compelling us to heed poet John Dickinson’s plea to “rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty’s call.” “Nothing ignites a patriot’s heart—or the hope that the truths of our founding era will prevail again—like the documents assembled in The Portable Patriot. How grateful we should be; and how quick to make these historic words our own.” ?Stephen Mansfield; author; The Forgotten Founding Father and The Faith of the American Soldier “Our current struggles over taxation; federal debt; and limited government are part of a larger American story. Kudos to Miller and Parrish for highlighting these essential passages.” ?Hon. Andrew P. Napolitano; Senior Judicial Analyst; Fox News Channel
