"This country must reinvigorate its sense of mission, destiny, civic virtue and liberty. These important tasks are best done by understanding how and why the Founders instilled those values in a way that has stood for over 200 years. That these values are waning today does not demonstrate that they have failed, but rather that we have failed to nurture them.
"Mary Mostert's materials may be the most significant contribution I have yet seen to bring America's civic culture back to vigorous and healthy life. America's youth are America's future. "Mary's materials can give those youth -- and America -- a much brighter future by reacquainting them with the wisdom and profound understanding of its blessed past.""I have taught constitutional law for 20 years. One of my most profound regrets is that, even at the Nation's leading law schools, students do not study the original documents that surround the creation of our Constitution, feel the richness of the materials our founders consulted, or understand depth and richness of the Founder's experience and knowledge. This set of materials makes that essential material accessible -- not only to lawyers, politicians and judges (who, above all, should be conversant with this crucial foundation) -- but to junior high and high school students. These books should be an essential part of the training of every American student.
“Very interesting. This book makes History very ‘real’ to the reader.”
Katie Etcitty, Student Utah Valley State College
“The information is great. I feel like every American should understand most of it. The footnotes started me on a whole new path of learning.”
Ben Pearson, Student Utah Valley State College
“I feel like a deep hole in my education was being filled. I wish I had written and delivered Patrick Henry’s stirring speech. Your book reads as though it is an adventurous novel.”
Ragnar Liljequist, retired advertising account executive
“This book helps understand the starting of our country. There were people and stories I have never heard before and I know it would the same of other people out there.”
Sally Fix, Student, Utah Valley State College
“In the spirit of the founding fathers who wanted to put government in the hands of the governed, Mary has put history in the hands of the people who want to study history. While most historians quote earlier historians, truer evaluation can be made now by any who are interested in original sources and the earliest possible interpretation of the facts. We are now Thrust into a whole new era of appreciation for times past and the marvelous times present that let us look at these documents in the comfort of our own homes.”
Carol Grass Winkler, Educator
“It renews your understanding of the incredible events surrounding the founding of this nation.”
Dorothy Miner, former elementary teacher, musician
“Every person in this country owes it to themselves and future generations to read and study this book. It could certainly turn this country around.”
Dennis Lisonbee, Award Winning film editor and director, Multimedia Communication Technology Utah Valley State College
