Today s fascination with the Founding Fathers extends to nearly every facet of their lives, save for their actual works as viewed by their colleagues of the day. Perhaps this version of events of the origins of the Constitutional era in the United States would be better understood had the Southern and Federal States fought to a draw in 1865. But, with a crushing Southern defeat on the horizon, Virginia s Albert Taylor Bledsoe was sent to Europe to plead the Southern cause and begin preparing a defense for Southern Leaders utilizing the historical record of the Founders writing, ratifying and life under the U.S. Constitution. This book is the result of that effort. Is Davis A Traitor properly read, is an American defense attorney s greatest effort, providing a compelling, often hysterical court case for the legality of the Southern States Constitutional exercise of their right of secession. When the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 wrapped up business in September and presented their final draft of a new Constitution to the States, proponents of the document insisted that the Union was unaltered and that the States retained all powers not delegated to the general government. These same men called it a compact, a federal rather than a national government, and sought to soothe fears that the Constitution would allow the general government to run roughshod over the liberties of the people and the powers of the States. Then Joseph Story, Daniel Webster, and Abraham Lincoln got hold of it and everything changed. With caustic wit, clear prose, and superb research, Albert Taylor Bledsoe s Is Davis a Traitor? presents the Founding Fathers side of the story. This little book is a defense of the original Constitution as understood by the founding generation. Is Davis A Traitor? is an entertaining page turner that will enlighten and entertain readers who seek a true restoration of The U.S. Constitution s original meaning. Though written in 1866, it is a timeless commentary, one that every American should read and every student of the Constitution should digest. It will change your mind.

Is Davis A Traitor

Who is Patrick Henry? Most Americans recognize Patrick Henry as The Orator who delivered the give me liberty or give me death speech which thus delivered the United States a free and independent nation. This view of Henry s life is rather like believing that George Washington s signature achievement was chopping down a cherry tree. Patrick Henry s public life is an exciting, inspirational and uniquely American story that is unfortunately nearly unknown, until now. Patrick Henry-American Statesman takes you on a biographical thrill ride through the revolutionary formation of the State of Virginia and the United States. Henry s closeness to Washington, both John and Samuel Adams and his rocky friendship with Thomas Jefferson are all revealed. In Patrick Henry-American Statesman readers will be fascinated to learn: Henry was mocked behind his back by Jefferson and was believed by some to be illiterate Henry was nearly accused of treason in 1765 for opposing the Stamp Act Henry attended & was instrumental in calling the 1st Continental Congress  The Virginia Assembly elected him as its first governor and 4 times  afterward His warnings over ratifying the  Constitution have all come to pass The Bill of Rights were insisted on by James Madison to silence his  criticism of the Constitution The term gerrymander  (for Ellbridge Gerry) should be henrymander  There is but one portrait of Henry taken from life. The most popular Henry painting is of Capt. Cook! Henry was a devout Episcopalian and resented rumors he was a Deist  Patrick Henry-American Statesman is not a history book, it is an exciting biography of the second greatest American who ever lived.  This edition is the first modern release of this classic work and features 1 new chapter from editor Mike Church, Henry in Art . This edition also includes illustrations and was reformatted using modern publishing techniques. Originally published in 1887 this book is that rare biography that explores the critical parts of its subject s life while allowing the hero to emerge without cheering him on. Patrick Henry explores the obscure, famous and infamous parts of Henry s life with equal energy a mere 90 years after his death at the tender age of 63.  Tyler s detailed exploration of Henry s three terms as the first Governor of Virginia elevate him to a level that is subordinate only to George Washington in the Old Dominion s rich history and pantheon of heroes. Of equal importance was Henry s leadership in the rally for Independence in the First and Second Continental Congresses. His once-famous call for unity on the second day of that body s first meeting is indicative of that leadership. The distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian, but an American.  No less a dominating figure than Washington wrote of Henry s reputation as an American leader. I have ever been happy in supposing that I had a place in your esteem, and the proof you have afforded on this occasion makes me peculiarly so. The favorable light in which you hold me is truly flattering.  Thomas Jefferson was not so effusive in his praise and delighted in tarnishing Patrick Henry s reputation during and after his life. To Daniel Webster Jefferson said his pronunciation was vulgar and vicious . In 1824 Jefferson incorrectly reported that Patrick Henry ...was a man of very little knowledge of any sort. He read nothing, and had no books. Tyler corrects these sneers with the facts but unfortunately Jefferson s pen tainted people s imaginations, until now. Tyler shows us that Patrick Henry was as much a father in his home as he was in the American affairs of state. He was surrounded by an adoring, large family until his last moments on earth.

Tyler shows us that Patrick Henry was as much a father in his home as he was in the American affairs of state. He was surrounded by an adoring, large family until his last moments on earth. His visitors have frequently caught him lying on the floor, with a group of these little ones climbing over him in every direction, or dancing around him with obstreperous mirth, to the tune of his violin. That hardly sounds like the private life of a stoic Founding Father but it does sound like the poignant, brilliant and tender portrait of Patrick Henry that emerges from the internal pages of this book.

To whatever sublime height of sanctity we may have attained, a fall is always to be feared. For, as says St Augustine, there is no holiness that cannot be lost through pride alone: If there be holiness in you, fear lest you may lose it. How? Through pride. This passage is from the essence of Humility of Heart. Just one of hundreds of common sense lessons in acquiring the Grace of Humility that author Father Gaetano Bergamo provides, still, 270 years after his death. We believe this edition of Humility of Heart is the most complete and thorough presentation of this magnificent work, ever produced. English readers will, for the first time, benefit from the translation of the final, all important segment of Humility, covering what Fr. Bergamo termed as: HUMILITY OF THE HEART. Easy to be attained, and maintained WITH THE DEVOTION TO THE ROSARY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY - added by the Author. This section features instructive, spiritual exercises that include meditations on each of the Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, the Hail Mary and the Our Father. This edition is packed with features including an Index, a complete Table of Contents plus detailed and expanded footnotes that assist in further reflections and meditations on Humility. The author s introduction and Preface have been restored; plus the myriad of Cardinal Vaughan s additions to the original text are identified for the first time.

The English Reformation is quite possibly the most misunderstood and thus misconstrued religious era in human history. The urban legend holds that English Catholics were sick of papal tyranny and threw in with heroic, protestant reformers to save Christianity from the evil, illegitimate Catholic Church. This little book, with no reference or debate over theology, entirely and completely refutes this false narrative. Father Culkin takes the reader on a 13 chapter crash course in what really happened using the historical record and over 400 years of scholarship on the subject. As the rising threat of Islam grows, Christians will need to rejoin the universal Church, restore solidarity and discover that the Faith of their English ancestors was well placed and well loved, in the Roman Catholic Church.
