I could not wait for my 10 year old son to finish reading this book, so that I could enjoy it too. Rush Revere and the First Patriots is the second book in the series. It is very difficult to believe that these books target kids between the ages of 10 and and 13. The sequel is just as thrilling as the first book and does an excellent job restoring the accuracy to long lost or manipulated American history. Rush Limbaugh has absolutely no political agenda with these books, he just loves his country and its exciting history.
Rush Revere and the First Patriots sets out to tell the story of the First Patriots and focuses on the events that lead to the American Revolution. Most of the events in the book are centered around the Boston area in the 18th century. The fictional middle school history teacher, Rush Revere goes on another time travelling adventure with Liberty the talking horse and a few other kids. We are also introduced to the Sons of Liberty, Committees of Correspondence, Minutemen, and even the Founding Fathers. His goal is to make the often boring history of our nation, less boring and more exciting for the younger generations.
The book also takes a look at several different events that happened during that time. These include the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party as well as a visit to King George III at his Windsor Castle. We also learn about the the brave men who led the American Revolution and helped obtain independence from the British empire by uniting the colonies and fighting for our freedom. These courageous men include Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, James Otis, John Adams, Patrick Henry, Ben Franklin and many others. They fought against oppression, illegal taxation and abuse from the royal government.
Who is Rush Limbaugh? He hosts one of the highest rated radio talk show in the United States called The Rush Limbaugh Show. This show has over 20 million listeners. He is also a #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, the first book in the Rush Revere history series. You can find out more information on Rush at either one of his websites RushLimbaugh.com or TwoIfByTea.com.
I really appreciate that this book is also available in an audio version narrated by Rush Limbaugh himself. The illustrations and paintings bring the various historical scenes to life and the addition of the historical documents is greatly appreciated too. Rush occasionally refers to modern day issues within the book, but he does it with subtle references. There are times when I just burst out laughing uncontrollably. Although the story is funny, he was still able to maintain the period drama. You can also tell that a great deal of time and effort went into researching this book.
The different personalities of the patriots are exposed, as the history lesson is presented to us. Rush Limbaugh is a master at telling an amazing story by weaving fictional time travelling and real historical events. Although Liberty is my favorite character, the addition of Elizabeth in this second book was refreshing. The definition of America and the the constitution is exceptionally done. Usually my son takes several days or even weeks to complete a book of this size, however this one only took him a day and half to read through all 242 pages. That just goes to show how easy and fun to read it is.
If you enjoyed the first book in the series, no doubt you will enjoy Rush Revere and the First Patriots. Not only is the story educational it is very entertaining and informative. The writing is brilliant and captivates your attention. The book portrays accurate historical facts without being preachy or boring. This breathing work of art is for all ages, from grandma to the kids. Rush knows how to really connect with his readers and even those who hate studying history will love this book. Discover the value and importance of the Exceptional Americans fight for freedom in a fun way today! Like many other readers, my son and I cannot wait for the next Rush Revere adventure.Read More Reviews Here…
