Product Description
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 Patriot's 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, Bennett's 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.
