Great Documents of History

As a child born in 1963, at the end of what is commonly called the “Baby Boomer Generation,” I attended school in the western civilization's finest educational system. The education I received was built upon the great writings of men, many of which are rarely seen, read, or studied in our culture of enlightenment. Well, here are a few of those great documents of history. I will let them speak for themselves.

Exodus 20, Ten Commandments

Magna Carta

Declaration of Independence


Constitution of the United States of America

Patrick Henry's speech, "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death"

Inaugural Speech of Washington


Second Inaugural Speech of Abraham Lincoln

Gettysburg Address

Winston Churchill's speech, "Never Give In"


Winston Churchill's speech, "Finest Hour"


Franklin Roosevelt's speech following the bombing of Pearl Harbor

Matthew 5-7, Golden Rule
