Drive Thru History America offers a compelling look at the life stories
and moral character of nine great Americans. With a delightfully wacky
narrator and fast-moving visuals, it will grab the attention of our media
savvy children and reveal history as a great story of real people, not the
dry recitation of dates and places and battles. All students will be
fascinated with this material, but especially boys! They will learn that
you do not have to be boring to be a leader with the kind of character
that matters.

The Christian focus of this presentation is historically accurate without
being preachy. It is socially balanced, not by the standards of
multi-cultural sameness, but by the standards of God's Word which declares
that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor
female.
What a great asset for homeschoolers, indeed for all Americans!

Letter from David Barton
 I'm excited that the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is bringing you this edition of Drive Thru History America. I commend HSLDA for both defending and advancing the rights of families to homeschool their children.
Drive Thru History America is a dramatic new curriculum filled with inspiring stories of American heroes. Dave Stotts' contemporary DVD presentation is exciting and Dr. Nita Thomason's activities for each lesson are fun and instructive. This curriculum reintroduces two distinct qualities that characterize how history was taught in America for over three centuries: a providential view and a biographical presentation.
It is an honor to have helped in selecting the heroes featured in Drive Thru History America as well as to have provided historical background and content for the stories. These are some of my heroes; I hope they also will become yours.
David Barton
