The Portable Patriot

The Portable Patriot

Book Provided by www.booksneeze.com

With the formalities over, I'll jump right into the review. I was honestly expecting a lot more out of this book. After taking my high school civics class I was bright and upbeat about the ideals the founding fathers had when they created the nation, as well as the ideas people formulated during the course of the young nation's development. Most of the pieces included were very appropriate. Letters between the founding fathers that presented ideas on separation of church and state for instance. Others, like an insert on the opinion of one white women on the "savage Indian tribes" seemed awkwardly misplaced as she went on about her Christian morals. I would have preferred a bit less of the forced religious hints that had no place in such a book.

All in all?

Three stars out of five. =)
