A Vision Book of the Republic — all events, past and present, on one living timeline
“LET YESTERDAY SPEAK TO TODAY.”
ETERNITY VISIONS™ · “Bringing imagination to life” · Written for America's 250th year, 2026
🎬 LIVING PLATE — DAWN OVER THE YOUNG REPUBLIC · The flag, the harbor, the fields — the first morning of a new nation.
WHERE THE BOOK STANDS — THE BOOK IS COMPLETE: all seven eras stand open, with the Forefathers companion and the author’s closing word. Every primary text is reproduced exactly from its named public source — the way this house treats every text it carries — and the timeline stands at 85 stones from COMMON SENSE to the 250th birthday. The founding documents themselves stand free to read, as they belong to the people.
READER'S NOTICE — THE REALITIES OF WAR: This book shows war as it was. Its war chapters contain active battle scenes and period photographs of the wounded and the fallen — blood, broken bodies, and the true cost of the Republic's wars. Nothing here is glorified gore; it is the documented price of the history, shown so it is never cheapened or forgotten. Parents and tender hearts, walk these chapters first before your children do.
HOW THE WAR SCENES ARE MADE: Two tracks, one standard. Original paintings carry the truth of battle as far as paint can carry it — fire, smoke, the charge, the fallen, the field hospital. The hardest realism is reserved for the period's own witness: from the Civil War forward, the war eras will also carry public-domain period photographs and archival film (the Brady and Gardner photographs; the National Archives) — the camera does not flinch, and neither does this book. Era I, painted before photography existed, stands in paint alone.
THE LIVING COVER — THE BOOK’S FACE
🎬 THE LIVING COVER — SEGMENT 1 · An Eternity Visions™ original painting, brought to life: the flag ripples, the eagle stirs, the river light moves.
THE MEN OF THE FOUNDING, HONORED IN FULL: Washington, the Adamses, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Hamilton, Hancock, Henry, Paine, Jay, and Marshall — each man’s life, deeds, and his own hopes for the future in his documented words. ENTER THE FOREFATHERS →
TOMORROW
THE BOOK’S CLOSING WORD: after the history, the author speaks — TOMORROW — WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR US AS A NATION? — James Price’s Statement of Hope, labeled as his word and hope, not as history. Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
THE TIMELINE — RIDE IT FROM 1776 TO TODAY
Timeline Rail v2 — all 85 stones of the researched record, every one a Tap Tab™ door into its era and its section. Disputed points are labeled disputed on their stones; the rail tells the truth or it does not stand.
