"Genealogists researching American families face the prospect of working with a variety of baptismal records, all of which have different meanings and carry different implications. To fully exploit the information that is available in various baptismal records, family historians must know what lies behind them. This [book] explores baptismal beliefs and practices of the various religious denominations that established churches in Colonial America. In addition, the author details many of the reasons why genealogists experience difficulty finding some early records and provides both research hints and solutions to some of the mysteries behind problem baptismal records"--Back cover.

For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
