Download or read book Ancestors Adventurers and American Patriots written by Pamela P. Whitaker and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pamela married into the Whitaker family in 1973 to find that her father in law, James Allen Whitaker II, had been conducting extensive research on the family using the common methodology of the time; letters, phone calls and personal visits. While his collection of data was extensive, it failed to connect the family to its European roots. After his death in 2006, Pamela began researching where he left off. With the help of computers, the internet and visits to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, she made the connections that trace the family back to its origins in Scotland, England and to the Plantagenet line. This book is the result of that work. Genealogists able to trace themselves or their families back to Jabez Whitaker of Jamestown will find that this book helps move them "across the pond."

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings back the spirit of our American patriots who found within themselves an uncommon valor and tenacity which saw them through the valiant struggle for liberty and independence during the Revolution. These were common, every day men, women and children born during an extraordinary time in history. They were called upon to put their lives and fortunes on the line for the right to simply worship as they wished and raise their families free from the yoke of tyranny. We are reminded that they aren¿t merely lost and forgotten, antiquated rebels who had nothing in common with us. Indeed, they are our direct ancestors¿grandmothers and grandfathers whose blood runs in our veins; whose life stories have largely been written out of history. It is up to us to rediscover, through their lives, who we are and where we came from. Only by doing so will we be able to hold on to the peace and liberty they fought so hard to obtain. These patriots who sacrificed so much never received the benefits of their efforts.

Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
