Journey Toward a More Perfect Union
The invention of a time machine has created a novel opportunity for a young man to realize his dream and mission to travel back to colonial Philadelphia, meet America’s Founders, help them create a more perfect Constitution and union and alter the course of American history. But does he possess the wisdom, character and faith required to overcome life’s challenges during Revolutionary times?
Experience colonial Philadelphia life and the founding events of America through the eyes and heart of a fictional descendant of Ben Franklin, who travels back to the Founding era to realize his dream and mission. Discover the facts surrounding the historical mysteries of the competing Constitutional plan submitted by Charles Pinckney III, the purported, first Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and much more!
Imagine a history book and a science fiction book, with some Spielbergesque drama and humor all packed into one book! Not just another American history book, nor a purely fictional story of America’s founding; this is a dramatic, visionary retrospect of an American political history that, given the invention of a time machine, could one day become a reality! It’s also a political prescription for an American nation that has lost its history, principles and common sense.
The concept for this book began with the question, “What would the Founders think, say and do if they could see the state of our nation today?” It then evolved to “What would the Founders think, say and do if one of their descendants of 2018 could travel back to their time, and guide them with his 22nd century foresights?” This book is a highly dramatic and creative answer to these questions, based on accurate, documented historical facts.
In addition to learning about the unique personalities, quirks, quotes and contributions of the American Founders, this historically accurate and detailed book also provides unique, historically-breaking insights into the introverted personalities of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison through professional handwriting analyses conducted by a highly respected, certified graphologist.
The author, Ron Schlegel, PhD promises the book will be highly educational, informative, dramatic and entertaining.
The book is due to be published and available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble by February, 2023.
