Can you name the first President of the United States? It might not be quite the answer you think. Who do you think designed the United States flag? Be careful, the answer may not be so obvious. Who was the first American Rock Star? Who was considered the Father of the American Revolution? Who lost his only son to a skating accident? His signature will tell you. Who ordered American cannons to fire on his own house in Yorktown, Virginia? Who was the first Postmaster General of the United States? Who was the first and only Supreme Court Justice to be impeached? What do all of these questions have in common? The answers can be found among the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Each one had a life and each a story. Yet, the vast majority of us were never told about them. There are many individuals-whose lives we know nothing about-that greatly influenced the creation of the United States. Those people lived, loved, prayed, cried, and laughed. But who were they really and why do we know nothing about them? 56 Men provides a valuable resource for readers studying the influences and people who led the campaign for the emergence of the United States as a free Christian nation. It is the first book in a series that will provide a much broader spectrum of information for young people trying to fully understand the development of our nation's governmental system.
