Letters: Our American Story

History & Biography

“Ann Wirtz takes the reader on a journey inspired by a World War II letter from her father, Kenneth L. Brubaker Sr. It is highly personal, yet she also reveals America’s journey through her connections to historical figures, including Benjamin Franklin and Susan B. Anthony. Ms. Wirtz encourages us to ‘cherish our own family’s story, for it is part of the fabric that makes up America’s 250th Anniversary.’ This book is a remarkable read to enjoy and savor its many treasures.”
