Produktbeschreibung
In the early colonies, this country was on the precipice of becoming an autocratic theocracy. The battle for democracy and equal rights was sparked by a few characters, who are now lost and forgotten pieces of history. Forefathers & Founding Fathers is an adventure, a love story, and a tale of great persistence, chronicling those who fought to create the template for America. It is a tale that every American should know and yet most do not. Travel back to 1620s London, where hardworking and creative Samuel met Mary, a unique and highly educated woman. Their journey would lead them to the colonies, where they were ostracized and sentenced to death for introducing the fundamental principles modern Americans hold dear. This fast-paced novel will make you question your understanding of the founding years of this free nation. These pioneers not only sparked the ideals of democracy 150 years before Jefferson and Adams but created the template our founding fathers used to build America. This expanded second edition explores even further into the lives of these impactful figures, giving a deeper perspective on their sacrifices and devotion to this country.
Autorenporträt
Award-winning author Michael Gorton is the eleventh-generation descendant of Samuel Gorton, one of the founders of Rhode Island. He holds degrees in physics, engineering, and law. Raised in an air force family, he is the first of his family to earn a college degree. Gorton is a serial entrepreneur who has founded eleven companies, including Dallas-based Teladoc Inc., the nation's oldest and largest telemedicine company. Forefathers & Founding Fathers is Gorton's fifth novel. A prolific writer, Gorton at first intended just to give this book to friends and family, but while researching, he realized this was an important and unknown story that needed to be told. Michael is a runner who has completed eighteen marathons; a black belt in kenpo karate; and a mountain climber. Gorton and his family set their sights high as well, with their goal of climbing the highest point of elevation in all fifty states. They have only eleven states left to conquer.
