Proud and powerful quotes from two of the most widely used documents in America.  We have heard of the stories and sacrifices made by many of our brave Founding Fathers and Mothers.  They were not all wild-eyed and rebellious.  Some were soft-spoken, some were educated, some were poor, and some were wealthy.  Just who were all these people that contributed to this great nation over time?

Americans have so much to celebrate about their great nation.  At the Amazing People Club Headquarters, we have pulled out all the stops to run promotions on some of the most popular eTitles from the Amazing Americans series.  Explore the lives of these influential individuals as we take you on a trip back in time for a personal interview with them. Their journeys on this Earth brought many changes and they still have stories to tell.
