The Portable Patriot

Normally I am not into historical documents.  I like history, and like to do reenactments but the actual studying of documents isn't all the appealing to me.  So why then did I request a book that is basically every document written by the founding fathers?  Well, truthfully I got it because I know my husband would like it and that it will be a wonderful resource for when my little darlings are ready to actually understand our founding fathers.  Did I expect I would like the book?  No.  Did I like the book? Yes actually.

This is a book that would be in my estimations understandable by a 7th grader or older.  Now would that 7th grader be interested in it?  Well it matters on the 7th grader.  Some would hate it, others would not put it down.  It really matters on the temperament of the child.

The book is very comprehensive and really shows how much the public schools omitted in my education about the founding fathers and America's history in regards to the faith they had in God.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com <http://BookSneeze.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
