The Path of Praise: Thanksgiving Broadcast

The Path of Praise was a special Thanksgiving broadcast on Cavalcade of America in 1951. Full of excellent Thanksgiving music, this inspiring history of the American Thanksgiving holiday traces the Thanksgiving celebration from the days of the Pilgrims through George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation and Abraham Lincoln’s declaration which made Thanksgiving a national holiday.

Note to parent: I am including this book on My Audio School, as it is used by Ambleside Online curriculum. They recommend it for older children (middle school through high school).

My Audio School is being used by so many children whose families hold varying perspectives on creation and evolution. I have not provided links for the first 3 chapters of this book, (30 minutes of material), which are full of evolutionary content. Should you need to refer to these chapters, you can use the links provided above for reading or downloading this book at its Internet Archive page in its entirety. I have not pre-read the majority of this book, but found evolutionary references in the two additional chapters that I listened to (The Age of Science and The New World). Please be aware there may be evolutionary content in other chapters, as well. Should you have further questions about the suitability of this book please read this review from Cathy Duffy.
