European Heritage: The foundation of republican society in America
For Immediate Release
Dedicated in part to the Women and Children of the American Revolution
While a junior at Mount Ida college, Peter O'Lalor had begun an article for the American Historical Review. Six years later he went on to produce what his professor called, a book academia has waited more than two hundred years for.
Voted Who's Who among students in American Universities and Colleges by the faculty. He also received an Award for Scholarship after completing the Senior Mentor Project. Peter was required to learn historiography before publishing his article, Revolution to Rhetoric: A legacy of an Eighteenth-century Rivalry. Upon completion of the Senior Mentor Project he was encouraged to write a book. His professor, Mr. Lettierri cautioned him that if he was to take the challenge, [he] will find being a scholar the loneliest job in the world... No one is going to want to know about what you are doing or even care... People will tire of hearing about what you are trying to accomplish much less understand the importance... It's going to take at least six years to write and just as long to get it published ... People do not embrace new ideas easily... Once you do publish it though, scholars will come out of the wood work.
Mr. Lettierri continued to be a mentor but he passed away before Peter published The Never Realized Republic: An Analysis of Capitalism's Impact Upon Republican Virtue and the Federal Constitution, (Washington House, Alexandria, Virginia), 2003.
