Ulteriori informazioni










Few stories can compare to the true tales that have written themselves through the lives of real people. As the title states, this book focuses on some of the intriguing events and practices of the souls who left their mark on North American lands before our present era.

If you enjoy thinking about what life may have been like had you been born in the seventeen or eighteen hundreds of early America, you may get a glimpse of it through the sketches presented herein. From diaries, journals, newspaper accounts, and letters, the reader will become acquainted with some of the most heroic, as well as the more unscrupulous, people in our history. Some are known personalities, while others have been generally overlooked, until now.

The beliefs, culture, and experiences of these individuals are expounded upon. They are authentic testimonies; however, like a sound bite from a speech, a story told out of context can easily be misconstrued. Therefore, though packed with quotes from the people involved, these accounts have pertinent background information woven into them as well.

How did the Native Americans come to inhabit North America?
Why did the early settlers drink so much?
What caused the author of our National Anthem to be a witness
to the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the first place?

Questions like these are a sampling of topics addressed in this book.
If that intrigues you, satisfy your curiosity.
