One-third of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence were not of English stock. Eight were first-generation immigrants. It was in recognition of the mixed European background of so many Americans that John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson proposed that the seal of the United States bear the national emblems of France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Scotland, and England, thus "pointing out the countries from which these States have been peopled." Many came, as Thomas Paine stated, in search of asylum. But they also came with an intent to preserve and refresh aspects of life in their homelands. In 1776, Europe boasted a rich civilization, alive with dynamic ideas, flourishing arts, and promising concepts in science. The foundations of industry and business were established, and social reforms were being undertaken, which Europeans took with them as they colonized and traded. They had come in contact with Eastern civilizations, above all, China. Here, from award-winning historian Marshall B. Davidson, is the story of the world of 1776.

The Writers' America

By: Marshall B. Davidson

Every nation is the invention of its writers. America is no exception. The United States is a state of mind and spirit created, in part, by the books that have emerged from the American experience - as truly as its politics have been shaped by history. We are all, in some fashion, the spiritual heirs of Poor Richard, Father Knickerbocker, Huckleberry Finn, and other cherished figures from our literary past. Writers have created our national image, not only in our eyes but in the eyes of the world. This book from American Heritage offers a panoramic view of the American scene and the American people by its own writers - from colonial days until modern times.

France: A History

By: Marshall B. Davidson

Every man has two countries," Henri de Bornier once said, "his own and France." Indeed, France has captivated us for centuries. Here, in this compelling history from acclaimed historian Marshall B. Davison, is its story: from prehistory to its conquest by Julius Caesar; from its invasion by the Franks, who gave us the name we use today, to the reign of Charlemagne; from the rule of the Bourbon monarchs, who reached their apex under the Sun King, Louis XIV, to the bloody days of the French Revolution; from the ruthless rise and reign of Napoleon Bonaparte to the brutal Nazi occupation during World War II.

The Architects: Thomas Jefferson

By: Marshall B. Davidson

Thomas Jefferson's influence is evident throughout the nation he helped found - from the democratic ideals he set down in the Declaration of Independence to the expansion of America's borders through the Louisiana Purchase. But the more tangible examples of his creative genius lie in his architecture - from the halls of the University of Virginia to his home on his "little mountain," Monticello. Here, in this essay by award-winning historian Marshall B. Davidson, is the story of Jefferson the architect.

The Architects: Benjamin Henry Latrobe

By: Marshall B. Davidson

Benjamin Henry Latrobe was a man of extraordinary talents - and high standards. One of the first professional architects in the United States, British-born Latrobe made his mark on America with his insistence on function as well as form. Among his most recognizable achievements are the central portion of the U.S. Capitol, the east and west wings of the White House, and Ashland, the home of Henry Clay. Here, in this short-form book by historian Marshall B. Davidson, is Latrobe's remarkable story.

The Architects: Charles Bulfinch

By: Marshall B. Davidson

In the history of colonial architecture, no man made a greater imprint on the style of American homes and public buildings than the self-taught Charles Bulfinch. He introduced a grace and splendor previously unseen in edifices of the new republic. His handiwork, in the distinctive Federal style he pioneered, can still be seen today in the U.S. Capitol building and the Massachusetts State House, as well as in myriad structures in and around his Boston home. Here, in this short-form book by Marshall B. Davidson, is his little-known story.
