DESCRIPTION:
Avid Reader said The Rest of the History. An outstanding book, replete with history that was not taught 50 years ago when I was in school. It is difficult to read it and not see that the rise of the Republic had an element of design which relied on powers far beyond human control to implement.I was especially taken with the story of Nicholas Trist who illegally negotiated the treaty with Mexico, signed little more than a week after gold was discovered there.. Mark Clayson said A Gift to America. The American Miracle: Divine Providence in the Rise of the Republic is a great read. Well-told and well-researched. I learned much more than I expected in an area I was already somewhat familiar. It will give anyone a much greater appreciation of how rare and precious the heritage of this great nation is. And it will bolster anyone's faith in an age where faith is struggling. It is more of a stretch of faith to believe it was anything but a miracle.. "Divine Providence Indeed" according to Big Daddy.

I enjoyed history as a student, but many of the things in this book were just ignored in history class. It's an interesting read. Y
