The Story of Eli Whitney

Overall we loved this story, another checkmark in the list of willingness to read Landmark History books. We were reading this one as it was a recommendation with Sonlight D/BookShark 3 Introduction to American History part 1. It is also a recommendation from TGTB History 4 and we have a second copy published by TGTB as well as this one republished from the original Landmark by Avyx. It was a long time coming, but it was never boring each time we picked up the story. So much happened. It definitely had a flare that reminded us of [b:Carry On, Mr. Bowditch 128048 Carry On, Mr. Bowditch Jean Lee Latham https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1480110382l/128048.SY75.jpg 871691] by the same author. An incredible figure of history undergoing unimaginable hardships of defeat to just get up and succeed again and again. I wish I had such fortitude, but perhaps my children will because they now have such examples as Eli Whitney and Captain Bowditch. These are the heroes that make me inspired and thrilled to hold claim to being an American. I wonder if my ancestors crossed paths with these incredible shadows of the past.
