American History and Heritage 
Rewriting History
The last three generations of Americans simply have not been told the truth about American history. Our children's history books are being rewritten so they no longer hear the truth about the tremendous influence of God on America's founding fathers, on the great documents they drafted to establish a true republic based, on the critical tripod of liberty, life, and family. Words like duty and honor and country have fallen out of vogue, and the stories of the faith of men like George Washington, Patrick Henry, Noah Webster and so many others are simply left out. Here is one of the stories you didn't learn in school and should have: GEORGE WASHINGTON - 1755 FRENCH & INDIAN WAR In the French & Indian war in 1755, George Washington commanded 1300 troops against the Indians in a woodland battle. Washington's officers (on horseback) and most of his troops were cut down. At the end of the battle Washington was the only officer that remained & still on horseback. Afterwards he found 4 bullet holes in his jacket & wrote to his wife that God had protected him. Fifteen years later, the Indian chief that fought against Washington traveled a good distance to meet him when he heard that he was in the area of the battleground. This chief stated that he had commanded his braves to concentrate on killing Washington and had personally shot at him 17 times. He wanted to meet the man that "God wouldn't let die". This exciting story and Washington's letter, used to be in the American history books. In an effort to degrade American heroes that depended on God, American history books are being revised and this story & letter have been removed in this century.

The Making of America by W. Cleon Skousen This is the Civic Book you can't do without. Simply excellent. Contains info on our Founding Fathers, our government system and how and why it came to be. We simply can not state just how good this book is. You must read! You will never forget the experience.  The Light and the Glory by Peter Marshall & David Manuel Another excellent book which clearly answers the question, "Did God have a plan for America?" It is a wonderful book. We highly recommend it. The authors also have also written the book for children - The Light and the Glory for Children. Worth reading. Worth owning.  The Federalist Papers Edited by Clinton Rossiter We highly recommend everyone own a copy of the Federalist papers. They are letters and articles written by our own founders.

A great place to get a glimpse of American Politics.  Our Sacred Honor by William Bennett A treasure of writings from America's greats. A wonderful resource for your home library.  Treason by Ann Coulter I read this book a couple years ago when it first came out. I was astounded to learn that the history when I was going to school was also not completely accurate. This book was a real eye-opener for me. (reviewed by Kimberly Fletcher)  Mothers of Famous Men by Archer Wallace it's always nice to be reminded- there is always at least one incredible woman behind every great man. Mothers of Famous Men gives a glimpse at some amazing women who influenced some of the great men from our history.  Great American Women in History by Rebecca Price Janney Great book focusing on the great women we may have overlooked and some we are familiar with. |
