Publisher's summary

The only book ever written in the history genre that succinctly tells the progressive and redemptive course of America as revealed in the stories behind the American holidays.

Ever wonder why everyone wants to immigrate to America? Rediscovering America answers that question, and it’s like no other history you have ever encountered. More than an account of people, dates, and events, this story is about the hidden hand of a purposeful historical development where the main actors are colorful characters, participating in an American drama of little-known but remarkable events where overcoming incredible odds of failure is more unbelievable and engaging than fiction. And while each chapter is a stand-alone tale - some quite wild - about what is behind each of the American holidays, the appeal of Rediscovering America is in the narratives that link the holiday stories together, revealing an account of progress and redemption in America covering over four hundred years - never before told in a concise and listenable book.

Every American should know this information!

This should be a textbook in every high school… Possibly every middle school In The United States of America.
We are a free people and will only stay this way when each of us decides to work and participate in our government.

This book should be in every personal library in America!

Scott Powell brings to life the history of our American holidays. Each chapter delves into the details of our history. I highly recommend this book and particularly recommend the last chapter which provides a synopsis of the book and explains where we are now and how to remedy the challenges we face!

Great for entry level

1) What star rating (out of 5) would you give this book?
For what it is, 5. It covers important topics with enough information and in a faster manner to get you a foundation, or refresh what you once had.

2) What did you like about the book?
The goal of it for starters, as our nation is no longer united.

3) What did you dislike about the book?
Nothing.

4) Would you read it again?
No, but I would definitely recommend it to others who need a good baseline.

5) Who is the intended audience of the book?
This book would be for anyone ignorant to the founding of our nation, or a younger (teen) audience to help them get a good foothold.

6) What could have been improved?
Nothing.

7) What did you learn from reading this?
Not much, as I read a lot of history.

8) What did you think of the book’s length?
It was fitting, as each chapter is something new and covers just enough to get someone a foundational understanding.

9) What's another book this one reminds you of?
The topics, plenty. However, a good foundational "entry" level, none.

10) What other books by this author have you read?
None.

Enlightening and Encouraging

How wonderful to learn more of the history behind our national holidays and leaders. How discouraging to see how our educationally supported restricted views regarding the teaching of history has lead to such ignorance that it appears that many of our governmental representatives know little to nothing about our Constitution.

Thank you for this book! May we hunger and thirst for truth. May we see the darkness and deceit for what it is and truly stand as lighthouses for freedom.
We need wisdom and courage. Our nation needs healing.
