Rating:  Summary: If you didn't like History in School, READ THIS BOOK! Review: An amazing read! This book earns a spot on my bookshelf.Though Our Sacred Honor begins slowly, it's worth the wait to wade through the character introductions. Carter is able to blend his fictional family into the Revolutionary War seamlessly, while also giving the reader a taste of the realities of war. While reading this book, I gained an appreciation for what our founding fathers did. They're not just names in a history book anymore. I'm able to think of them as real people. I strongly recommend this book.

Rating:  Summary: History buff of Charleston West Virginia Review: Every year the sixth grade at my school visits Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, and Monticello, Virginia. My family received all three books in this series for Christmas. My mother suggested that I read them before our trip this year. I read them and not only have I learned a lot, but I have also come to love the series. I think that Ron Carter portrays these events as if he was there. Every week I come back to see if he has ant more books out. I also shared these with my friends who have come to love them too.
Rating:  Summary: Prelude to Glory series of books Review: I read the first three volums of this series, and they were spell binding. After reading each of these books, I shared them with my friends, who also couldn't put them down. I am now hoping that there will be a vol. 4. For any one who wants to learn about for formation of our country, these books are a must. I highly recomend them for any one who is a member of the Daughters of the American Revelution. Understanding just what it took for gain the freedom of the United States, will give you a better appreciation of what it took to make our country free.

Rating:  Summary: History 101 - not Review: I've never been so captivated by a volume of books as by Prelude to Glory by author Ron Carter. He has woven a fictional family (and the reader!) and actual American history together to create an account and the incredible story of miracles that lead to the creation of the United States of America. I learned much about my beloved country in just the first volume. If American history was taught in our schools in Mr. Carter's style, we would have a generation of patriots graduating in our schools! I'm now in Vol 6 and will surely feel a let-down after i finish the last, Volume 8. What will I have to look forward to! With the completion of each volume, i can't wait to begin the next. Enjoy the masterful storytelling of this author and catch his enthusiasm and love for his country.
Rating:  Summary: Prelude to Glory Series - All three books Review: My husband and I are in our 60's and it has been a long time since we studied American history. Neither one of us understood or remembered many things about the American Revolution that we studied years ago. These books have brought us a better understanding of the American Revolution. We highly recommend it especially for high school age youth. History will come alive for them. We have always appreciated our forefathers, but never to the extent we do now after reading these books. We can't wait for the next one!

Rating:  Summary: History buff of Charleston West Virginia Review: Not only does this series give an idea of what went on in the Revolutionary war, but also in the lifestyles, how they cooked, cleaned, what the homes and occupations were like. I am throughly enjoying a history of the Revolutionary period for the first time.
