" WHAT UNITES US: Reflections on Patriotism" by Dan Rather is collection of original essays by journalist Dan Rather focuses on the principles that provided the foundation for the United States. He looks at the freedoms that define us, freedom to vote and freedom of the press; the values that we treasure, including empathy and service to others; and the institutions that sustain us such as public education and science and medicine. Rather looks at our history to see where we have been so we can recognize challenges in building our country and find inspiration to help us move forward and heal our differences. Aer reading Rather's book, you too will be inspired to look at these issues and start conversations to remind us of What Unites Us. "THE PIONEERS: The Heroic Stor y of the Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West" by David McCullough Anyone who has read a book by David McCullough knows that he does his research and writes with thoroughness on the topic, but with a style that holds our interest from the first page to the last. We were taught in school about the original 13 colonies that became the first states aer the Revolutionary War. However, most of us have only a sketchy understanding of the "Northwest Territory," the wilderness land in what is now America's Midwest, ceded to the new United States as part of the Treaty of Paris of 1783. A Massachusetts minister helped open this territory to veterans of the war and their families with remarkable freedoms: freedom of religion, free universal education, and prohibition of slavery. In 1788, the first band of pioneers set out from New England to settle the newly acquired land. Much of this history is drawn from diaries and letters and gives us a never-before seen glimpse at this very American story. Get ready for the Fourth of July and the picnics, fireworks and concerts by doing a little fun "homework " for readers of all ages. What better way to celebrate than reading something that makes us all proud to be an American!
