The First Thanksgiving Proclamation I presented was printed in small pamphlet form by The Plymouth Rock Foundation, P.O. Box 425, Marlborough, NH 03455-0425. They offer many materials and books on the early history of America. Write and ask about a catalog of their materials. I first came to the knowledge of these things from a workbook from American Vision Press, P.O. Box 720515, Atlanta, GA 30328. "God and Government, Volume 1: A Biblical and Historical Study" is the name of the workbook, it is excellent. The author's name is Gary DeMar. You can write American Vision Press for information on books and other educational materials (I think the price of the workbook is about $12). The following are the names of some other books of interest. Think of them as nine candles to light the dark ignorance that pervades here of this nation's history. Ahlstrom, Sydney E. "A Religious History of the American People" (2 volumes). Garden City, NY: Doubleday Co., 1975. Points out the overwhelmingly Christian origins of the American people at the time of the War of Independence. Bradford, M.E. "A Worthy Company." Nyack, NJ: Plymouth Rock Foundation, 1982. An excellent, well-researched biographical work on the framers of the Constitution. Campbell, Tim J. "Central Themes of American Life." Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans Co., 1959. Deals with the hand of God in U.S. History, the main tenets of American civil government, economic life, religious liberty, and other Christian themes central to American culture and life. Hefley, James C. "America: One Nation Under God." Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1975. Shows how biblical principles shaped our nation in the beginning and how this nation has strayed from those principles. Very readable. Hamilton, Alexander, et al. "The Federalist." Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press, 1961. Essays first printed in several New York newspapers during the fall and winter of 1787-1788 dealing with the then proposed Constitution. Indispensable reading for a proper understanding of the U.S. Constitution. "American Dictionary of the English Language" by Noah Webster (1828), facsimile edition 1967. Available from The Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE), P.O. Box 27035, San Francisco, CA 94127. This reprint gives the meanings of words as they were used in the 18th century in America. Very, very helpful in understanding early American historical documents. Rutherford, Samuel. "Lex Rex, or The Law and the Prince." Harrisonburg, VA: Sprinkle Publications, 1980. A Facsimile reprint of a very influential work which did much to influence the thinking of those who participated in America's War of Independence. Walton, Rus. "One Nation Under God." Washington, DC: Third Century Publishers, 1975. Sets forth biblical principles for government, economics, education, and the family and shows how socialism and humanism are undermining these principles in America today. Morris, B.F. "The Christian Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States." Philadelphia, PA: G.W. Childs, 1864. A long out-of-print work that contains a staggering amount of original source material that shows that America was founded as a Christian nation. Powerful truth!!! I hope you can find these books in a library or purchase them. I am also forwarding this message (with your name/id deleted) to electronic forums where I posted the Proclamation. My desire is to challenge those who are bold enough to investigate the facts of this matter. Sincerely, Ricardo Davis ...............................................................................
