A celebration of American courage and tenacity, this sumptuous visual
history details the stories of more than 125 of our nation's most gutsy
and resolute citizens - those who overcame extraordinary odds through
faith, will, and guts, from George Washington and Helen Keller to Jim
Lovell, Jackie Robinson and many more, both famous and lesser known.
Each chapter will open with a feature on John Wayne, highlighting a
specific trait of grit, then examine dozens of other American legends
who exhibited that same attribute in awe-inspiring fashion. A fun,
fascinating book celebrating American optimism, patriotism and good
old-fashioned bootstrap determination.
The book is illustrated throughout with archival photos of each subject,
providing an invaluable look into their fascinating lives.
