On Line Reviews by Mike Ramey

 

While many Americans will agree that our nation has a rich, deep and interesting history, few--outside of patriots, politicians and history buffs--understand how great our history has become in under 300 years. Enter Hatherleigh Press with the book: “The Handbook For Americans: The Essential Reference For Citizens Of The United States Of America (2018, 303 pages, Hatherleigh Press).”

One of the beauties of this book is that it is in a compact form. Easy to carry, which makes it great for the student, teacher or professor who is interested in some of the foundational truths of America. Andrew Flach, the publisher of this work, includes a very brief introduction of the subject matter along with a powerful section entitled: “11 Principles for Everyday Citizenship. Brief, on target, and to the point.

The rest of the book is divided into five sections which include and illustrate some of the great speeches given throughout our nation’s history, an examination of some of our documents which led to the foundation of America, and the basics on the branches of government. There is even a section that contains American customs and traditions. If you ever wanted to know our National Motto, some of the particulars behind how to properly handle the American flag, or, a listing of our national holidays, it is all contained in one place…in this book.

“The Handbook For Americans: The Essential Reference For Citizens Of The United States Of America” by Hatherleigh Press. It may be found through your favorite electronic book seller, or through Hatherleigh Press. It makes for a great graduation gift for those who may be high school or college bound.
