With her conversational direct style, Elizabeth Richards helps distant events come aliveand demonstrates the connection between the ideals and practices of our Founders andthe liberties we enjoy today. As a primer of crucial events, it is a winner.—Dr. Charlie SelfProfessor of Church HistoryAssemblies of God Theological SeminarySenior Advisor, The Acton Institute for Religion and Liberty This is a book I wish I could have assigned to my students when I was teaching US Historyto high school students. It is highly readable and suitable for students with limitedEnglish language skills and even for younger students. The author begins by describingthe competing efforts of Britain, France, and Spain to establish footholds in Americaand how Britain gained greater domination than the other countries. (see book 1, theFounding of a Nation: The Story of the Thirteen Colonies) This book provides depth of detail of this war to achieve independence that I have notseen before: the many battles fought, both won and lost; the geographic extent of thewar, from what is now Vermont to Georgia from the Atlantic seaboard to the area thatwould become Illinois and the enormous cost in Life and treasure.This book gives meaning and substance to our Declaration of Independence and ourConstitution, which we so seldom read, but when we do read it is often with onlysuperficial appreciation of the effort and sacrifice that went into establishing them asthe foundation of a new country —the United States of America.—Alan WadsworthRetired Social Studies teacher and school administrator
