Land of the Free, Home of the Brave: Our Founding Documents & Concise History of the USA

Unsteady grasp of US history? Never read the Declaration of Independence nor the US Constitution? How to properly display the US flag? Who were those guys who served as Presidents? Who's lain in state at the US Capitol? The costliest wars? Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, the new book by Mark Zimmerman, provides all the information any US Citizen needs to know and should know in one handy reference guide. Up front are the essential documents of the United States of America--the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, with wording straight from the National Archives. The history of the United States is laid out in concise, readable form. Articles detail the history of the Declaration, the Constitution, and the delegates to the Constitutional Convention. And there is much, much more--US flag guidelines, state-by-state data, details of the Presidents and presidential elections, our military heroes, the space program, battlefields, minor wars and old forts, engineering marvels and historic sites. And last but not least, listings of all the major sports champions of the past century. The new handy reference guidebook by Zimco Publications LLC is a publication that every US citizen (and prospective citizen) should own and read. History is anything but boring--it's the story of our lives.
