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.
