Mark Wilensky is a distinguished author, historian, and teacher in Jefferson County, Colorado, and is currently working with the Colorado Department of Education on a national study to find ways to eliminate gaps in education for homeless and highly mobile children. In this exciting interview, he discusses his latest book: The Elementary Common Sense of Thomas Paine: An Interactive Adaptation for All Ages.
This adaptation includes the original Common Sense, a new adapted version in plain language everyone can understand today, an extensive chronology of important pre-revolutionary events leading up to the publication of Paine's pamphlet, and adapted versions of the Olive Branch Petition, A Proclamation For Suppressing Rebellion And Sedition, and the Boston Port Act. Mark also includes a wide variety of insights on colonial coins and mercantilism, and many humorous illustrations designed to convey the important concepts of independence and liberty.
Colonial America was a continent with multiple cultures and customs spanning vast geographic distances. Tom Paine's amazing persuasive essay Common Sense unified these seemingly conflicting characteristics into the most remarkable nation ever founded in the history of mankind. The Elementary Common Sense of Thomas Paine will reignite the ardor of our Founding Fathers for a new generation.
J. David Petruzzi is a noted American Civil War cavalry historian and author. He wrote the historical text for one of the U.S. Army's recruiting pieces for modern armored and air cavalry. He has instructed U.S. soldiers and soldiers of various nations on Civil War era battlefield tactics and their application to modern maneuvers. His latest book, The Complete Gettysburg Guide, reflects David's vast knowledge and expertise about the Civil War.
Some two million people visit the battlefield at Gettysburg each year. It is one of the most popular historical destinations in the United States. Most visitors tour the field by following the National Park Service's suggested auto tour. The standard tour, however, skips crucial monuments, markers, battle actions, town sites, hospital locations, and other hidden historical gems that should be experienced by everyone. These serious oversights are fully rectified in The Complete Gettysburg Guide, penned by David and illustrated with the lavish, full-color photography and maps (70) of Civil War cartographer Steven Stanley.
