Rush Revere and ‘Liberty’ return American History to its Rightful Place

Not since Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has a figure from childlore done so much to lead the little people out of the fog. We look for Rudolph every Christmas, before packing him away with the ornaments til’ the next holiday season. But ‘Liberty’, the lovable, time-traveling horse of the ‘Rush Revere Adventures’ series is there every day.

Liberty is not just the equine hero who makes going to bed a delight before lights off and the Land of Nod, he bestows on all who find him, a gift rarely mentioned in modern times--the indelible gift of a proud American history. Rudolph will always keep his coveted place in childhood Christmas but Liberty, the talking, time travel Horse gallops off holding childhood imagination long after Christmas has come and gone. Here to stay, Liberty has his very own Facebook page: Adventures of Rush Revere. Appealing, lovable, imaginative and always good for a ‘horse laugh’, Liberty’s holding more than the small fry spellbound. More than one Grandma owns up to the fact of buying books from the Rush Revere Adventure series, but taking her time to get them to her young ‘uns, having become deeply immersed in the books herself. Far up in the Land of the Snows, Mr. and Mrs. Klaus reign as King and Queen of the North Pole.

Mr. and Mrs. Klaus only write letters back to members of the Crayon Set at Christmas time. Across the Fruited Plains, Rush and Kathryn Revere, the King and Queen of America’s History unfurled by its courageous and interesting Founding Fathers, stay in touch through Facebook and the Rush Limbaugh radio show. From the quilled pens of their writing style and the paint brush of their vividly splashed lively artwork, children and grateful parents and grandparents are learning that America’s noble history should have been anything but shelved. Liberty and Rush Revere have returned being proud of America in the most memorable way possible to an anemic pop culture. Learning about History from a school textbook can seem lifeless and dry, making nodding off more tempting than retaining it. Not so with the Adventures of Rush Revere, because you just never know where the adventurous Liberty is fixing to head off next page. This time last year Limbaugh’s first children’s book had rocketed to Number 1 on Amazon. Imaginative children began being transported back to epic unforgettable times in American history in time travel type fashion, starting with the Mayflower and America’s first Thanksgiving. Returning American History to its rightful place is what made the Adventures of Rush Revere a runaway--or should we say, a galloping--literary success. Limbaugh who describes Liberty as “smart aleck” on his popular radio show had fun writing his books, and it shows. A history buff and an unabashed admirer of America’s glorious past, Limbaugh made sure that Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims remains true to history. “It’s the truth and it’s accurate”, he said of the book his late long-term friend, Vince Flynn and wife Kathryn encouraged him to write. Thankfully, Rush Revere and the First Patriots and Rush Revere and the American Revolution followed Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas, Rush and Kathryn Limbaugh, for returning to America’s children, parents and grandparents the best gift of them all--pride in America’s noble history!
