This work is written for non-Historians, and is a handy easy-to-read condensed look at Early American History. It is composed of short chapters each of which is designed to be a stand-alone treatment of a segment of time. It is my hope that this book will help fill the void that is exposed by the general lack of historical perspective which I believe is a major contributor to America's current lack of self-awareness of and appreciation for the uniqueness which is the United States. Dr. Robert Owens is a College Professor/Administrator and the author of a widely published weekly opinion...

The vast majority of human action reflects the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings of the actor. There have always been and there will always be those whose actions are erratic or divorced from reality. The actions of this small minority are best ascribed to pathology not philosophy. For the rest of us, we think therefore we are. What we think about today we act upon tomorrow. The Dispatches from the History of the Future contained in this book convey the basic political philosophy which I believe will one day re-inspire our nation to stride upon the stage of History with another round of...

America's Trojan War combines gut wrenching realism and fast paced action to make this feel like it was ripped from the morning's headlines. Lisa Billingham and Sargent Bushings rushed into the building firing into the faces of the enemy. Hundreds and soon thousands of police, firemen, and civilians poured into the buildings of St Elizabeth Hospital. They shot anything that moved. By force of numbers they pushed the defenders back from the windows and doors. Room by room sometimes desk by desk the fire fights raged leaving dead, wounded and dying scattered in every conceivable pose, piled on...

This period includes the years 1961-1968, from the death of the founder, Bishop C. H. Mason, to the installation of the first Presiding Bishop.

Dr. Robert Owens the author of the History of the Future shows not only that the Constitution has failed but that in many ways the arguments of the Anti-Federalists foretold that failure before it was ratified. He then offers recommendations for how We the People can organize and advocate for solutions which he believes could bring about a return to limited government, preserve liberty, and reignite economic opportunity in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Within the span of one generation three of eight American presidents left office via the assassin's bullet rather than the ballot, and yet the image presented to the world conveyed the ideas of stability, continuity, and peaceful societal evolution. This book is an examination of public rhetoric with regard to the assassinations of three American presidents, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. The public rhetoric before, during and after each assassination is examined. This examination is used as examples and evidence to build the case that the elites in America used that rhetoric to promote the...
