I don't know what is taught at Weber State University(Ogden, UT)now; but years ago I took a class called: "Era of the American Revolution". It was quite good, and extensive. One of the textbooks was a condension of "George Washington, An indispensible Man"(I think that's what it was titled!)by Thomas Flexner. It was incidentaly, one of biggest sources for that miniseries that came out many years ago, with Barry Bostwick.
I remember, because he came out at the end, and described the books and other sources used for the show. I was tickled about that; because I still had that book!

Newt Gingrich also just finished another book...Grant Goes North
(I'm not sure about the exact title.
But you can bet that his novels are historically sound!
What college or university was that? Sounds like that prof should be sent packing.
I learned something about Jefferson today. Did he re-write (in his own words) the KJV or just strike out and start afresh?
You've got a good point there. I thought about that yesterday and I wondered to myself, "Who will remember whose picture is on a $20, $50, $100?
Thanks for that recommendation.
Once again, thanks for the recommendations.
I haven't heard of that book. Thanks!
Traditional American History bump.
Of course education is abandoning the founding fathers, just one requirement of producing good little socialists is to expunge certain facts from the public lexicon, the public consciousness. Therefore, it is vital that children have no knowledge of the incredible inheritance that all Americans have been bequeathed, to be replaced by fuzzy "thinking" and "feelings." Public education is a mess, and no amount of funding will fix it. I feel truly sorry for those unable to home-school their children or send them to private schools unencumbered by marxist ideology and other brain-numbing idiocies.
He used the KJV Jefferson was Episcipalean and that was there perferred bible of the day. He edited it by marking out what he did not agree with and then rewrote it on his own. I am not sure it either books have been made available to the public but I have often wondered what is in the writings.
Erasing the facts of a Christian-based government founded by these men and women!
Very interesting! Never knew that about Jefferson.
What did you think when they played The Battle Hymmn of the Republic as they carried Reagan's casket up the west steps to the capitol?
I sort of chuckled about our conversation earlier today.
They played it so slowly that it almost sounded like a funeral march.
