Publisher's summary

THE TRUTH WILL ENDURE. IT MUST.

But our history is in danger of being rewritten by the progressive left and the “woke” mob.

In PROFILES IN FREEDOM: HEROES WHO SHAPED AMERICA, Carl Higbie shines a light on the real heroes of American history.

Ronald Reagan warned in his 1989 farewell address: “If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are. I’m warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit.”

The “woke” mob tries to silence voices of reason. They try to remeasure by their liberal, progressive standards our historical heroes who made an impact on our country. They must redefine everything to fit their narrative. They don’t teach our actual history because they hope that by ignoring it, we will forget, for when it’s forgotten, it is effectively erased. But people should not be erased, nor should our history. We should learn from it and grow, always climbing higher than the previous generation.

Carl Higbie, a former Navy SEAL and national news anchor of Carl Higbie Frontline on Newsmax TV, believes in REAL America and the need to remember the heroes who made this country great. In Profiles in Freedom, he reintroduces some of the Americans who made this great country what it is today. People such as:

  • William Penn, Ben Franklin, and George Washington
  • William Clark, Samuel Colt, and Ulysses S. Grant
  • Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony,
  • and George Washington Carver
  • And more

To simply cancel others, especially our nation’s history and the people who made this nation great, is cowardice. It is small-minded thinking. And it is futile. After all, to forget history is to repeat it. The problem is that it takes an awfully long time to get back to a point of strength.

Those who helped build this country lived and died for their ideals so that we could have a better life. The wise will not only build onto that, but they will teach their children to do the same.

“As you journey through the histories of these American heroes, my sincere hope is that you are encouraged, revitalized, and made more confident. Every history you read is really your own history, no matter when you came to this great country. We are in this together.”

—from the foreword by U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin

TO the author

This book gave me real inspiration and faith in our country. But I wish you told more about Henry Stanton. Elizebeth Cady husband. But I see you not a Replican but a bleeding heart liberal. If you did that he was working behinds the sense to get Abe Lincoln elected and helping in establishing the republican party. Being Elizebeth is my third cousin. Hope I didn't disappoint you much at all. SORRY.

An excel compilation by a potentially great man

The speaker was mediocre. Carl would have been a much better. I surely enjoy his rants on TV. Most of his heroes were people I have heard of but did not know know much about. It was a very enlightening book which should be required reading in school. He has done an excellent job of condensing the salient aspects of their lives. I have multiple degrees, but Carl prooves that a college degree isn't a requirement for success. The values expressed in this book lacking in America today. Carl's personality reflects many of these people. The country needs more people like him. I personally would like to see him move into politics and run for President. I would surely vote for him.

lots to unpack

I remember lots of these incredible people, having grown up in the 50s and 60s, but had forgotten lots of the underlying details of their contributions. And some were new to me. Who knew that U. S. Grant wasn't his given name. Same with Frederick Douglas. I'll be listening to this again!

Fascinating look at our country’s history and its most important change agents.

I like the connection between the people and the logical sequence. Carl writes with an obvious love of history and a commitment to accuracy. He makes me feel like I want to know these people better.

The incredible detail of historic figures.

I learned so much from Carl. His personal comments at the end of each chapter and his “questions” that he “might” have asked were wonderful.

complete truth and accuracy

I loved hearing our American history. So many schools don't teach it anymore. Carl did a great job.
