Produktinformationen zu „Haym by George (ePub)“
Many people know George is George Washington, the father of our country. Many, however, do not know the details of his brilliant career as a soldier, his stand on slavery, and his fervor in establishing the freedoms we hold dear. Nor do they know that despite his superb leadership we would have lost the revolutionary war and our chance to become an independent nation if it were not for foreign intervention.
Few know Haym Salomon, the savior of our country. Who was he, and why was he important?
He was a Jewish Polish immigrant who was mainly responsible for financing the American Revolutionary War. He was caught by the British and sentenced to death as an American spy. How he escaped the hangmans noose and became a friend of George Washington is part of the story.
George Washington said, Haym Salomon provided the funds for our army when everyone, including all the colonies, refused. If it were not for Haym Salomon, we could not have fought the Revolutionary War and won our independence, nor survived as a newborn nation.
The lives and times of George Washington and Haym Salomon are inextricably woven into the fabric of the Revolutionary War, our fight for independence, and the ideals upon which this nation was founded. This book, therefore, encompasses much of the magnificent contributions of these two patriots and the actual events that led to the difficult birth, and early survival, of the United States of America and the principles forever enshrined to protect our democracy.

Autoren-Porträt von Jackson Grin
Jackson Grin is a history buff and a young and proud resident of Connecticut .This is his first historical novel. It is the story about the difficult birth of this nation and of two patriots, the founder, George Washington, and the savior, Haym Salomon, of these United States of America.Many great men such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Samuel Adams, to name but a few, also contributed much to the birth of this country. Particular attention is drawn to two Connecticut residents who made everlasting contributions for the freedoms we hold dear. One is the young Nathan Hale, who, at age twenty-one, gave his life for his country. The second is Roger Sherman, who devised the grand compromise that gave us the checks and balances, which is the basis for our democracy.
