highly recommended

Thirteen compelling and influential documents: Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death," Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States, James Madison's The Federalist, George Washington's First Inaugural Address, The Monroe Doctrine, Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, The Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg Address, and more.

The basic founding documents of American democracy

One can take two opposing approaches to this kind of volume. One can celebrate the treasures that are in it, or one can lament all the treasures it lacks. I prefer the first approach. For any volume which contains , The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, Washington's First Inaugural and Farewell Speeches, Lincoln's First and Second Inaugurals and the Gettysburg Address contains the very heart of America's political thought and creed.
These documents are valuable not only politically, and historically they are also very great Literature.
There is much to be inspired by in the documents that are in this volume .Those seeking more important documents relating to American political life and democracy can find other volumes, whole libraries if they wish.
For what it is, this is just right.

Great little reference

It's small enough to take with you, yet inexpensive enough to buy several. I have a couple so there are copies at home, work and a travel copy. The pages are large enough that it doesn't get lost and the typeface is large and clear enough to make it easy to read. It's a great selection of documents, including the founding documents and those from our presidential giants: Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

All American

Every school and home library should have a copy of this on their shelf

Great

The book is more than i thought it would be. It has some great writing and good background information with it.
