I just learned about a book written by Noah Webster called History of the United States and published in 1832. This makes it a primary source for American history - it was written during the lifetime of eyewitnesses who could have disputed it (important since there is so much disputable "history" today). I was told that it is excellent and easy reading and would make a good family read for America's 250th.
The Tombstone Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will be building, stocking, and dedicating a "Little Free Library" in honor of America 250! The library will be placed at 1984 Exeter Street, Sierra Vista, on 17 October 2026. Once complete it will be stocked with books honoring the founding of our country. Stop by and grab a book to help us celebrate and share our country's history.

Can you say who said this without looking it up? "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Douglas Mayor Jose Grijalva made a proclamation last week in support of America's 250th encouraging all residents, civic organizations, businesses, and community groups to participate in commemorative activities, educational programs, and celebrations throughout 2026 that recognize this historic event and affirm our unyielding commitment to the freedom and independence of the United States of America.
A proclamation supporting America's 250th was read at Bisbee's Mayor and Council Meeting on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.
Way to make a statement!
On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee introduced a resolution “that these united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states." - https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration/how-did-it-happen
Beware the historical revisionists taking advantage of America's 250th to push controversial agendas that run counter to our founding principles - all dressed up in red, white, and blue. They did the same thing during the Bicentennial back in 1976, pushing changes to the Constitution and other radical changes to our form of government.
