I can't say that any one book stands out as "shaping" me, but collectively, there's no doubt that they did. When I read a news article about a current event I often think to myself, "while this make the history books"? Of course, there will not be a "book" as we know it when the next generation is learning their history.

But there sure is a lot of power in being the chosen company to write history books for our youth. I have a love of country that comes not just from my family teaching or my experience as a citizen but from the textbooks that instilled these things in me. Such power. Kind of scary.
