Publisher's Synopsis
A Land of Promise captures the explosive expansion of the original thirteen states as hearty pioneers swept across the continent opening trails, building towns and fashioning new states. All of this while having to ward off a second British invasion and twice defeating Mexico in war, before facing the cataclysmic confrontation that set north against south and brother against brother. Afterwards, a healed nation under girded by a renewed commitment to the God of her founding faith, expelled Spain from the new world spreading freedom to the oppressed. Throughout these challenges, a constant flow of creative energy ushered in a wondrous period of technological innovation replacing age-old burdens with abundant prosperity. By the end of her first full century as a sovereign nation, America had achieved a position of equal status "among the powers of the earth." W.R. Starling returns to America's history as a mature nation, guided by the God who first guided her to new shores.
