Dear Sir,

Please forgive me if it has taken too long to respond, hopefully
these references will be of great help to your understanding.  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
