Reviews:
“This is pure history, without all the filters of contemporary interpretation. These books will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone who wants to better understand where America has come from--and where we should be now.”
-Jay A. Parry, author, The Real George Washington
My Father W. Cleon Skousen, author of The Five Thousand Year Leap, would call this must-have collection of original source documents nothing short of pure gold of the rarest kind. This resource would have spared him decades of clawing through untold stacks and volumes of materials during his research and writing years. He would have treasured these books for that very purpose, and joins me in highly recommending these volumes to scholars and casual readers alike; anyone looking for accurate answers to difficult questions about America, freedom, and our era of unprecedented prosperity.
-Paul Skousen, author, speaker, CIA analyst, and Reagan White House intelligence officer
