Book Overview
Discover the Courage, Genius and Never-Say-Die Grit Behind the Glory of America.
Join author Stephen Carr as he explores America's forgotten past in Glory, Grit and Greatness: Great Americans Fading From Our Memory.
Bringing history to life with vivid prose, the author has crafted a memorable tribute to Americans whose fame has faded, but whose legacy of extraordinary deeds lives on.
From the industrialist who transformed the nation, to the immigrant who wrote its greatest song, from a squad of valiant lawmen, to a roll call of war heroes, to name a few, these are people who inspired us, made us cheer, kept our streets safe, and fought for our freedoms, people who deserve to be remembered.
Meticulously researched, drawn from original sources, the book is ideal for history enthusiasts as well as anyone who enjoys a good read. You'll relive the heartbreak and triumphs of ordinary Americans treading a tortuous path to greatness. Like the Medal of Honor winner haunted by the memory of combat. Or the entertainer who battled an addiction, even as she captured the nation's hearts. Or the shy misfit who became a great president.
More than just a history lesson, Glory, Grit and Greatness is a celebration of the American spirit. The book will tug at your heart strings, make you smile, and keep you on the edge of your seat. And, above all, remind you why you're proud to be an American.
