makes the United States of America so special―or perhaps 250 of them. 

Here, in one volume, is an inspiring journey through two and one half centuries of the people, places, and events that have made this nation remarkable as we celebrate its 250th anniversary. 

Visit the incredible moments―often quiet and common―that have lifted the United States from a struggling cluster of colonial communities to the world’s greatest superpower. 

Meet the individuals, from peasants to presidents, who have created a heritage like none other in history. Themes of faith, courage, and servanthood shine through the decades and centuries of the American experience. It is the stories, large and small, that have created our identity. Some of them will be familiar, many have been seldom told, and all are laid out in joyful detail.

If the past is prologue, 250 Great Things About America: Places, People, and Principles Worth Celebrating lays a brilliant foundation for our country’s future. This is a book for families to study and enjoy together, not just once, but as a perennial reminder of the meaning of citizenship in a nation of destiny.
