The American Patriot's Almanac by William J. Bennett and John T.E. Cribb

The American Patriot's Almanac is a book of daily readings on America. This book is filled with great stories of America's history and her founding. In addition to the daily readings there are informational sections which include flag etiquette, The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States, just to name a few.

I found this book to be an excellent reminder as to what the people of this country have done in the past and present in order to give us the freedoms that we hold dear. Many of the readings are heart-wrenching and inspire a deeper sense of awe and patriotism. Some of the stories brought a tear to my eye and was a reminder that we can only imagine what it was like to be a signer of the Declaration, or fighting in the Civil War, or fighting for civil rights.

The author seems to have performed extensive research for each of the daily readings, including the timeline snippets at the end of each story. I really enjoyed learning something new everyday. I would highly recommend this book to all who enjoy history, or who just love America.
