Our Sacred Honor: The Stories, Letters, Songs, Poems, Speeches, and Hymns that Gave Birth to Our NationReveals the common principles that make us essentially American. They are articulated by the admirable men & women who first wrote what it is to be American. Bennett has collected the best that has been thought & said by & about the men & women who founded America: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John & Abigail Adams, & so many more. Not since Periclean Athens has such a small nation been led by so many larger-than-life figures. They give advice on virtually every aspect of -- good government, good relations between individuals & nations, & what it means to live a good life. |
