After a hiccup in which the rollout of the book on Glenn Beck’s show was delayed, we finally got the interview out this week. Please check out Seven Events . . .. I think you’ll find some remarkable cautionary tales for some of the stuff we are seeing today in terms of “health care” regulation, dealing with natural or man-made disasters, and even in foreign policy.

Dr. Schweikhart:
I am a full-time American history instructor at a community college in the Detroit area. I have read your Patriot’s Hostory as well as 46 Liberal Lies and I congratulate you on the painstaking research in order to bring these truths to light. I often reference your work as well as that or Burton Folsom, David Barton and William Bennett, among others. Currently I am reading David McCullough’s Harry Truman, Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals, and Larry Schff’s How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes. By the way, I saw you and Dr. Folsom on Glenn Beck last week. Although I am a big fan of Beck, he monopoized the time, giving you and Burton scant time to offer your valuable insights. I wish you continued success as you continue to challenge the historicist school of US History.

I spent a recent week in Xenia and drove through Centerville, though I didn’t stop to say hello. On the trip I read Seven Events… It disappointed me on but one matter. You failed to tell your readers how your history is skewed, as Howard Zinn did within several pages. Yours is a readable perspective, though not unique, and you wrote it well. It would be fun to team-teach a course with you. I would have a perspective very unlike yours, and very unlike Zinn’s, for that matter, and explicitly contrary to Loewin’s. We would be able to help students understand that there are three histories: yours, mine, and a closer approximation of truth, for which, as students of history, they are responsible.

Regarding the Seven Secrets that Saved America…….. would that be the same the Seven Miracles That Saved America by Chris Stewart? Or are there two separate books?

Geri, these are quite different, although I know the Stewarts.
