George Washington – “I did!”
An evening pause: On this, the birthday of George Washington, let us hear from the man himself. The speaker is an actor, but the words are Washington’s late in his life, reflecting on his life as well as on the future of the nation he more than anyone else helped create.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

America’s Cincinnatus. We were blessed that our first President was probably the greatest.
Yes, Eddie, I would concur in that he was the greatest of our Presidents. If for no other reason than were he not of the character he was, there would have likely been no Republic of “The United States of America.”
My only qualm with him, and I believe he lacked the necessary insight and introspection to glean its essence, was that he did not equate the moral conception of individual rights contained in Jefferson’s Declaration, as being the very foundation of the other political conceptions which, together with the other founders, he was instrumental! Likely the keystone in the arch of their political creation and institutionalizing.
I wonder if our founding father had a Virginian Tidewater accent.
