Alchemy, the process of dissolving and uniting elements, was a metaphor for the American Founders in their revolutionary quest for an ideal culture - they wanted to dissolve the political bands which oppressed them and form a more perfect union. Pursuing the metaphor, this first book in a series identifies key pre-colonial elements in the cultural melting pot that is the United States. Haudenosaunee democracy, Greek philosophy, Hermetic lore, Abrahamic religions, Roman civilization, and British jurisprudence are among those weighed and stirred into a unique solution.
