Synopsis

What does it mean to think, believe and act like an American 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 Patriot's Reference " you'll find a carefully assembled sampling of American history's most formative words, written by people who made that extraordinary history, including : * The Declaration of Rights from the Stamp Act Congress * Paul Revere's famous ride in his own words * Benjamin Franklin's advice for people coming to America * Thomas Paine's entreaty to end slavery Seventy four 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 Patriot's Reference " also points a way forward, compelling us to heed poet John Dickenson's plea to "rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty's call."
