More than ever, Americans are realizing that if we want to keep this country great, we must be citizen-patriots. And here’s the handbook every citizen-patriot needs: The Essential American, featuring the fundamental documents of our nation’s history.
Compiled by syndicated columnist Jackie Gingrich Cushman and featuring a foreword by her father, best-selling author and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, The Essential American is the ultimate patriot’s resource. Featuring well-known and lesser-known documents and speeches, The Essential American includes the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution; Daniel Webster’s Plymouth Oration; Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address; Douglas MacArthur’s Duty, Honor, Country speech; Ronald Reagan’s speech at the Brandenburg Gate; and much more!

Critic reviews
Where does The Essential American rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
TOP FIVE!What did you like best about this story?
The fact that these documents were all assembled and packaged so concisely.What about Vanessa Hart and Jim Meskimen ’s performance did you like?
Short, sweet, to the point assessment of what we were about to read/hear.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
They got me in the first few minutes. Hated interruptions!Any additional comments?
Find a philantopist who would give this audible to EVERY HIGH SCHOOL/or/College Graduate! Or somehow, instead of music in elevators, trains, airplanes, airports, PLAY THIS! Too good to be true! Thank you, Ms. Cushman!Appropriately Titled! EVERY AMERICAN MUST!

Any additional comments?
As a Canadian I learned a great deal about the American ethos. Based of the current state of the nation I'm left wondering how many Americans really understand their heritage. Certainly an essential resource for those who care enough to know. Reagan's speech is one of the best!Got to Love Reagan!
