In Memory of J. Gordon 'Jim' Lott: Apprentice American

This page is dedicated to preserving a small piece of the work, research, and writings of James Gordon Lott, who believed that unless we learned our own history, we would never achieve the dreams of individual liberty and justice.

Learn not America and you will lose it!

When the lessons of history are not studied to learn the social errors, then history will repeat itself!

You must find the truth, it will not come to you!

To be an American YOU MUST KNOW AMERICA!

--J. Gordon Lott
