Produktbeschreibung

Near the close of the Civil War, as General Sherman blazed his path to the sea, an unknown infantryman rifled through the North Carolina state house.The soldier was hunting for simple Confederate mementosmaps, flags, official correspondencebut he wound up discovering something far more valuable. He headed home to Ohio with one of the touchstones of our republic: one of the fourteen original copies of the Bill of Rights. Lost Rights follows that document's singular passage over the course of 138 years, beginning with the Indiana businessman who purchased the looted parchment for five dollars, then wending its way through the exclusive and shadowy world of high-end antiquitiesa world populated by obsessive archivists, oddball collectors, forgers, and thieves and ending dramatically with the FBI sting that brought the parchment back into the hands of the government. For fans of The Billionaire's Vinegar and The Lost Painting, Lost Rights is a tour de force of antiquarian sleuthing (Hampton Sides).

Autorenporträt

Joshua David Howard was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, grew up in Los Angeles, California, and currently resides in Tampa, Florida. He came from a big family, with eight total siblings (including himself) and his beloved parents, happily married. Joshua first shared the gospel through the popular app called "TikTok" in October of 2020. He made a vow to God to share the gospel before he recorded his first video. He later shared the gospel on YouTube in May of 2021 after God told him to quit sharing it through TikTok earlier that year. He knew God had bigger plans for him, and he wanted to be in the perfect will of God, not trying to establish his own righteousness. So, with the help of the Holy Spirit from the start, he actively shared and recorded a message a day when he started out on YouTube. From there on out, Joshua never gave up on sharing the gospel online through YouTube videos, however, once he moved to Tampa, Florida, he knew again, God had bigger plans for him. His primary focus in life is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a lost and dying world, fulfill the great commission before Jesus comes back, and see a revival take place in his family's heart's and lives.
