"This timely collection of speeches by David McCullough, the most honored historian in the United States--winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Book Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among many other honors--reminds us of fundamental American principles. Over the course of his distinguished career, David McCullough has spoken before Congress, the White House, colleges and universities, historical societies, and other esteemed institutions.

Book Description
The first European immigrants came to the American colonies to escape incessant wars, oppressive governments, lack of opportunity, and tyrannical religious authorities. The dangerous and mysterious new world couldn’t rectify all the ills of the old world, but it offered something that resonated with their Christian faith—hope for a better life for their loved ones. They miraculously built a government that preserved more freedom and opportunity for the American people than any government in history. The United States can continue as a beacon of hope if its citizens focus on the common goodness of their past that binds them instead of the differences that divide them. American Spirit presents this refreshing perspective through an exciting mosaic of adventure, despair, hope, faith, and love. Smith’s incredible research and vivid writing style as he follows multiple generations of immigrants seeking freedom in America make this book an essential read. Smith’s novel is historical fiction that intrigues, engages, and lingers, long after the last page is turned. — Joe Kilgore, US Review of Books The Civil War is an ugly period of American history. Uglier still, are the many times inaccurate accounts of the war were told. Roger Smith has taken a giant step forward in setting the record straight. Reading this book will open your mind. It is much more than just another war story. — Dan Mackintosh, Pacific Book Review

Book Description
Excerpt from The Early American Spirit, and the Genesis of It: The Declaration of Independence, and the Effects of It The following Addresses have been previously published in separate pamphlets; but the edition of each being exhausted, and a desire having been expressed that the two should be combined in a volume, the publishers now present them in this form to the public. The first of these Addresses was delivered before the New York Historical Society, on the occasion of the celebration of its Seventieth Anniversary, April 15, 1875. The second was delivered before the citizens of New York, in accordance with the invitation of their distinguished committee, at the celebration of the Centennial Anniversary of American Independence, July 4, 1876. The favor with which the Addresses were received by the large and cultivated audiences convened on these respective occasions, at the Academy of Music, and the acceptance which they have since met with from the public, as presenting in brief compass a lucid and just exhibition of the earlier and the later life and progress of the American people, have induced the publishers to embody them in this more permanent form, for their wider circulation, and the easier preservation of them by those into whose hands they come.
