Editorial Reviews

Review

"[ON THIS DATE] is rich in forgotten facts about celebrated patriots and unearthed tales of the daring and genius of ordinary Americans. Popular history at its very best, as entertaining as it is instructive, and a moving appreciation of the restless upstarts who carved a nation from the wilderness and made it the most successful enterprise in human history."―Senator John McCain

"ON THIS DATE shows the country as it really has been. It is also a love letter to America. [It] will give those who have been deprived of the experience the opportunity to fall in love with their country. For those who have been more fortunate, it will provide a chance to fall in love all over again."―RealClearPolitics.com

"A terrific book! America's rich history told as a daily heartbeat, not a dry list of dates. Everyone is here: the great and the forgotten, the heroic and the hilarious, artists, activists, inventors, adventurers, and more. A patriotic pageant, and a joy to read."―p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 48.0px; text-indent: 48.0px; font: 19.0px Calibri; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000}span.s1 {font-kerning: none}David Von Drehle, author of Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year
