I have been doing research for the last nine years on our Founders and the subject of how they came to understand the idea of liberty. My book will be published next summer.

Their education is something that has not really been explored like it should be. Most people read what our Founders wrote and do not read what our Founders read.

By Founders I am referring to are all the men who influenced or worked with the men who signed the Documents, and including the signers.

One source

“Their education is something that has not really been explored like it should be. Most people read what our Founders wrote and do not read what our Founders read.”

You mean other than Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution”?

Forrest MacDonald’s “Novus Ordo Seclorum: The Intellectual Origins of the Constitution”?

Gordon Wood’s “The Creation of the American Republic”?

Or some of Mel Bradford’s works, like “Founding Fathers: Brief Lives of the Framers of the United States Constitution”
