Rediscovering America answers that question, and it's like no other history you have ever read. More than an account of people, dates, and events, this story is about the hidden hand of a purposeful historical development where the main actors are colorful characters, participating in an American drama of little known but remarkable events where overcoming incredible odds of failure is more unbelievable and engaging than fiction. And while each chapter is a stand-alone tale--some quite wild--about what is behind each of the American holidays, the page- and chapter-turning appeal of Rediscovering America is in the narratives that link the holiday stories together, revealing an account of progress and redemption in America covering over four hundred years--never before told in a concise and readable book." -- 650 $a Holidays $x United States. 650 $a United States $x History. 650 $a HISTORY / United States / General 650 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Conservatism & Liberalism 941 $a 1 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20220430010053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9A23DBEC84A11ECBE1F1D0654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
