Liberty & Virtue: In Pursuit of The Art Virtue

Two timeless works in one volume--perfect for America's 250th anniversary.In Pursuit of Liberty, Plant a Liberty Tree traces the remarkable true story of the Liberty Tree, from the great elm in Boston where patriots first gathered to resist tyranny, to the Liberty Trees that spread across every colony as powerful symbols of freedom and self-governance. As America approaches its semiquincentennial, this essay reminds us why the founders risked everything - and why the tree they planted still matters today. The Art of Virtue presents Benjamin Franklin's extraordinary system for moral self-improvement. Drawing directly from Franklin's Autobiography, this companion guide lays out the 13 virtues Franklin practiced daily - Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity, and Humility - complete with weekly tracking charts so readers can follow the same method that helped shape one of America's greatest founders. Together, these two works connect the spirit of American liberty with the personal character that made it possible.
