“Nothing can be believed but what one sees, or has from an eyewitness,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1789. This book features 25 firsthand accounts chronicling dramatic moments in United States history, many of them published here for the first time. From handwritten reports by George Washington and John Adams to the message of the Apollo 8 crew broadcast from lunar orbit, these accounts offer a fresh and surprising perspective on familiar events. Softcover only, 80 pages.
