In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition oversized (folio, over 12 inches tall) full maroon velvet softcover wraps with gold front cover lettering and gold front cover decorations consisting of the American seal emblem and eagle. Includes Introduction. Documents included are both facsimile copies of each of…the following essential documents of American history plus a brief background of each to assist the readers to orient themselves into the historical setting: 1) The Declaration of Independence, 2) The Constitution of the United States and The Bill of Rights, 3) The Monroe Doctrine, 4) The Gettysburg Address, 5) The Star-Spangled Banner, and 6) The Pledge of Allegiance. Illustrated with both black-and-white drawings and color drawings. Unpaginated. "The founding of a nation is a many splendored thing. It is not an easy task, but one which requires hard work, sacrifice, devotion to duty, deep faith, and a little bit of luck. It also can be a happy affair to be remembered and cherished by the present and future generations of citizens. Such is the case in commemorating the 200th birthday of the United States scheduled for formal celebration on July 4, 1976. To commemorate one of the great epochs of American history will help us to renew our faith in the principles for which our ancestors fought. In an era of doubt and indifference it is well to call to mind those old but eternal truths of the right of everyone to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." These values as found in the Declaration of Independence are timeless and need to be re-affirmed and revered more often that every two hundred years. They really should be remembered and practiced as a daily habit. It is also fitting to remind ourselves of the other achievements not only of the Revolutionary generation, but also of the contributions of others to our heritage of freedom of later periods. Indeed, the Constitution with its Bill of Rights, the Monroe Doctrine, and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, constitute noble documents each expressing the renewal and enlargement of American freedoms and democracy. Inspiration can also be obtained in a re-reading and recommitting ourselves to the patriotic sentiments as expressed in the Star Spangled Banner and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States. In the documents which follow a brief background of each is given to assist the readers to orient themselves into the historical setting. These documents make up Our American Heritage. We invite you to read them and hope you will rejoice and be glad that our forefathers made it possible for us to know and enjoy precious sentiments of each of these documents." - from the Introduction.
