Magna Carta Signing, Historical Painting, Royal Gathering, Candlelight, Pivotal, Authoritative, Monumental Scene.

“A free-man shall not be fined for a small offence, but only according to the degree of the offence; and for a great delinquency, according to the magnitude of the delinquency, saving his contenement: a Merchant shall be fined in the same manner, saving his merchandise, and a villain shall be fined after the same manner, saving to him his Wainage, if he shall fall into our mercy; and none of the aforesaid fines shall be assessed, but by the oath of honest men of the vicinage.”

~ The Magna Carta Libertatum; Clause 20 (1215)

The Annals of America is a mammoth personal project whose sole purpose will be to tell the American story (via Podcast format) using The Primary Source Materials strictly from ‘The Annals of America,’ first Published in 1968 by Encyclopaedia Britannica, & edited by Charles Van Doren & Mortimer J. Adler. Subscribe to join me, Dear Listeners, on this long but meaningful journey!


Addendum: Here is The ‘About’ page for this Stack, where I go over the Philosophy behind what I aim to achieve with this Mammoth Project.

One can purchase a relatively decent second-hand collection of The Annals of America from Ebay.com relatively cheaply. I will leave a link here to do just that! 

For those not willing, ready & able to purchase an entire collection, that’s okay! 

I will leave a link to the Internet Archive, where one can find all the relevant Volumes of the Annals of America (including the two Conspectus Volumes), free to borrow!

Happy Reading, Dear Listeners!
