History Challenge 5/11/09

This week’s prize is the book “Common Senseand the “Don’t Trend on Me” Flag.

In his famous 16 pamphlet series entitled, The American Crisis this author wrote the following which was read aloud to the Colonial Army at Valley Forge by order of General Washington.

The Cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Where, say some, is the king of America? I’ll tell you, friend, He reigns above.

What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly; tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

Name this author of The American Crisis series.
