Description
From the Introduction
We Americans talk a great deal about our tradition. What does “tradition” mean? From the viewpoint of the nation’s history, it is the sum total of our exploits and deeds, our struggles and achievements, our sacrifices and labors, our blood and tears, our joys and sorrows, our triumphs and failures. It is everything that is woven into the tapestry of this republic. In the life of the republic of the United States of America, the efforts of gallant men stand out in peace and war. …. Gallant men have faced dangerous and hazardous journeys to widen the borders of man’s freedom. Each in his time contributed to our tradition something which has inspired not only his own generation but the generations that follow.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a two-pound Media Mail package. I can send at the one-pound rate if I use less packaging. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
