Description

|
Here is the American adventure, as told by the pilgrims, founding fathers, revolutionaries, pioneers, soldiers, pilots, and other heroes who helped to make the nation what it is today. Drawn from firsthand accounts and historical writings and spanning the Mayflower's landing in 1620 through September 11, 2001, we have William Bradford and the Pilgrims' farewell to England; George Hewes's eyewitness account of the Boston Tea Party; Davy Crockett reporting from inside the Alamo; an excerpt from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl in which Harriet Jacobs recounts her escape; Sergeant York on his single-handed capture of 132 German soldiers in World War I; and Buzz Aldrin's firsthand account as copilot of the first landing on the moon.
