As new condition light beige boards with red spine lettering contained in an as new condition price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Editor Dedication; Foreword by Newt Gingrich; Introduction; Acknowledgments; and Sources.

"A unique resource for the history of our nation .You'll return to it again and again." - Sean Hannity. "In The Essential American: 25 Documents and Speeches Every American Should Own, Jackie Gingrich Cushman has compiled a guide to the great documents and speeches that have stood as beacons to successive generations, expressing what it is to be an American. Starting with the crucial documents of our founding, Cushman introduces and explores each speech and document in its historical context, explaining why it belongs in the American canon. Some - like General Douglas MacArthur's immortal "Duty, Honor, Country" speech or Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address - were obvious selections. Others are less well-known, like Captain Mosley Baker's speech at San Jacinto, which urged Texans fighting for their lives to "Remember the Alamo!" [The book] highlights different aspects of America's character. Reflections on America's origins, like Calvin Coolidge's "Inspiration of the Declaration of Independence" and Daniel Webster's "Discourse, Delivered at Plymouth" were delivered in times of peace and prosperity. General Dwight D. Eisenhower's "Order of the Day" on D-Day, FDR's address to Congress after Pearl Harbor was attacked, and President George W. Bush's speech after 9/11 were the powerful responses of leadership to the crises of the hour. Many of these documents and speeches were prepared for public dissemination while others, like Abigail Adams' letter to her husband, began as the private thoughts of citizens meditating on the course of the nation. Some were instantly hailed as great, such as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, while others like President Ronald Reagan's speech at the Brandenburg Gate in West Germany required the passage of time to unveil their significance. All of them contain enduring lessons for Americans today and demand a place in our hearts and on our bookshelves. With its handy lists of presidents and first ladies, vice presidents, and justices of the Supreme Court, a time-line of important events in American history, and a BONUS DVD of more than 1,200 documents, The Essential American: 25 Documents and Speeches Every American Should Own is a vital resource for all Americans seeking to better understand the legacy they have inherited." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
