Excerpt from Historical Sermon: Delivered on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Organization of the Third Presbyterian Church, Sunday, June 14, 1874 The Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer(i. e. The stone of help), saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. It seems to be eminently proper, at certain marked epochs, for every community, that has been blessed of the Lord, to review its history, to consider the dealings of Jehovah with it, and to erect some memorial to His praise. It was in view of such propriety that the incident recorded in the text occurred. The epoch contemplated was the close of the first great period after the entrance of the children of Israel into Canaan. The ministry of Joshua ended a few years after the passage of the Jordan, when the Israelites had peaceful possession of the greater portion of the promised land. Then commenced the period of the Judges. Again and again did Israel sin, and again and again were they surrendered into the hands of the Philistines for chastisement. But, upon repentance, again and again were they delivered. In the days of Eli, because of grievous transgression, they were again brought in subjection to their enemies; but, on the great day of Mizpeh, forty-five years after their subjugation, God again wrought a great deliverance.

For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."
