The Founders' Almanac is an easy-to-use guide to the origins of American democracy — focusing on information that is especially valuable for our day. The calendar describes important events of the era. Biographical essays introduce the leading Founders — including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams — and discuss the major themes of their statesmanship. An extensive compilation of quotations reflects the wit and wisdom of the Founding generation, and an annotated bibliography suggests additional readings. Historical documents — the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and Washington's Farewell Address — and interpretative essays reacquaint the reader with immortal words and their contemporary meaning.

Greatness of America's first generation

May 16, 2015

Format: Hardcover

As a 31 year Navy veteran, and life-long advocate for strong patriotic support for our Constitution and our country, I think this Almanac is the best explanation I've ever read re the details of how and why the Founders created our Constitution. I'm an American history buff, but until reading this book did not realize the depth of the Founders' vision, vocabulary and wisdom. The Almanac is very well organized for enjoyable reading and as a quality reference source. As a nation we are currently headed for suicide/socialism, similar to Rome; i.e. unless we change course by educating our youth about the greatness of America. Reading this book would give them a good start. I plan to give a copy to each of my six grandkids.

Excellent!

I added this fine work to my library about 4 months ago and already the pages are showing signs of wear. I can't begin to say how many times I have turned to this fine work for a reference source..

Mr. Spalding has put together a very readable sourcebook. The book begins with a calendar of notable events, followed by six outstanding essays on six of America's most notable founders. All six essays come from different authors and each one is equally well written.

The last half of the book is devoted to notable quotations, founding documents and additional resources. The quotes are divided into numerous indexed categories. The documents, such as the Declaration of Independence, have quick reference sidebar notes. You won't regret adding this fine work to your personal library.
