Produktbeschreibung
From the Parent Stem is a tapestry of the many events leading to the creation of the United States of America. Beginning in early Britain and ending in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, this timeline tells a story so important that it will have a profound impact on the reader's understanding of our nation's origins as historical injustices are laid bare, cherished myths are set aside, and seldom-told tales are told. From the Parent Stem: England and the Making of America is divided into four books: Book I The Beginning to 1699 Book II 1700 - 1773 Book III 1774 - 1775 Book IV 1776 - July 4, 1776In addition to the many significant historical events, From the Parent Stem also includes correspondences of George Washington, daily entries from the Congressional Journals, and the important proclamations and petitions of Great Britain's Parliament and the two Continental Congresses, as all are intertwined with the social and military events of the day to provide the reader a new historical perspective. While From the Parent Stem is a story meant to be read from start to finish, the timeline can also be used as a reference. To keep the text easy to understand and not overwhelm the reader, most entries are divided into three parts: the heading; supportive information; and additional notes designed to provide clarification, commentary, or interesting facts to enhance the reader's comprehension.As the book's author, I sincerely believe all American history teachers, all American history students, and all Americans who wish to learn a more honest tale of the founding of the United States should own a copy. In addition, it is my sincere hope that From the Parent Stem will be appreciated by international readers-particularly those in the United Kingdom.
Autorenporträt
Mr. Ray Brown has spent a lifetime studying American history and a 36-year career in the public schools sharing his love for the subject with students. In 2004, Mr. Brown, in an act of faith, made a decision that would change his life. Perceiving a steady erosion of our nation's civil liberties, Brown-a firm believer in the Constitution-decided to leap the classroom walls and "take it to the streets" dressed in a newly made historical outfit. Calling himself A Son of Liberty and armed with copies of the Bill of Rights, Brown began a civic journey that to his surprise would be supported by nearly everyone-no matter one's political persuasion. That was now nearly 10,000 copies ago.Retiring from teaching in 2010, Mr. Brown made another monumental decision. In order to further promote the study of American history, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, Brown walked across the United States from Florence, Oregon, to Philadelphia's Independence Hall, and on to the Atlantic Ocean while talking to fellow Americans he met along his journey.That was 3,200 miles ago.Always a student of American history, before retirement Mr. Brown began composing a detailed timeline of the many events leading to the original founding of the United States. This project would become another arduous journey-much longer than his Walk Across America. Simply beginning his work by plugging historical events into chronological order, like a jigsaw puzzle, a larger story began to emerge nearly always leading back to England. Now, fifteen years later, From the Parent Stem: England and the Making of America is born. It is Mr. Brown's opinion that such a work has never before been written and represents a fresh perspective on an old subject.Truly an epic work. With degrees from Ohio State and the University of Oregon, Brown lives with his wife Cynthia in Eugene, Oregon.
