A Complete Timeline of the Founding of the United States is Now Available

During the fifteen years since completing my Walk Across America, I have been writing a detailed timline in order to better understand the true origin of the United States. Originally to be one book, the work has become a four-volume series entitled, From the Parent Stem: England and the Making of America, now available at Amazon Books and elsewhere. Beginning in early Britain and ending in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, this timeline tells a story so important that it will have a profound impact on the reader’s understanding of our nation’s origins as historical injustices are laid bare, cherished myths are set aside, and seldom-told tales are told. From the Parent Stem: England and the Making of America is divided into four books: Book I:The Beginning to 1699; Book II:1700 – 1773; Book III:1774 – 1775; and Book IV:1776 – July 4, 1776. In addition to the many significant historical events, From the Parent Stem also includes correspondences of George Washington, daily entries from the Congressional Journals, and the important proclamations and petitions of Great Britain’s Parliament and the two Continental Congresses as all are intertwined with the social and military events of the day to provide the reader a new historical perspective. While From the Parent Stem is a story meant to be read from start to finish, the timeline can also be used as a reference. To keep the text easy to understand and not overwhelm the reader, most entries are divided into three parts: the heading; supportive information; and additional notes designed to provide clarification, commentary, or interesting facts to enhance the reader’s comprehension. As the book’s author, I sincerely believe all American history teachers, all American history students, and all Americans who wish to learn a more honest tale of the founding of the United States should own a copy. In addition, it is my sincere hope that From the Parent Stem will be appreciated by international readers—particularly those in the United Kingdom.  Most sincerely offered, Raymond M. Brown
