Gregory Clark 
American Watersheds 1 & 2 [EPUB ebook] 
A Magical, Mystical, Musical, and Historical Journey

American Watersheds combines education and entertainment in a trilogy. This first edition contains both parts 1&2. The series highlights leaders who changed history Politically or culturally in the era in which they lived. This is all done by the author telling personal stories or those of a relative or close personal friend.(Greg is related to 3 Presidents and offers stories of 5 Presidents never told before in books) The author is related to Martin Van Buren who invented mass media, celebrities and outsider populist candidates who selected who we elected. This begins a 200 year history of media. The study of media manipulation continues in both the stories and the revisionist history of The Battle of Running Bulls Flint Sit Down Strike 1936/37. Through research and stories from the author’s Grandfather, Chief Organizer of the Strike, the true story is finally told. This singular event is called the "strike heard round the World" and gave birth to the first successful labor unions in America. It also gives birth to the American middle class, Civil Rights and Women’s Rights. Grandfather Gil Clark moves on to be the President of the Teamsters when his enemy Walter Reuther becomes President of the United Auto Workers Union. In a twist of irony the author’s other Grandfather on his Mother’s side is his enemy in the Teamsters yet both are great American Watersheds. They negotiated the best union contracts in Teamsters history. Upon leaving the Teamsters Gil Clark became a pioneer in Cable TV with the first Microwave and Cable TV company in Michigan established in Petoskey 1954. It becomes the family business continuing the history of media. Also, the family invests heavily in a future technology company which brought us media tools used today like Google translate, voice to text, text to voice etc. The Media history culminates in modern social media and how it is causing real world events today. For music lover’s the series is a gold mine of stories and rare music links to great American and English music. Meet the greatest studio musicians. The stories often come with a fun movie link. By staying with the format of personal stories or one from a close personal friend or relative, the stories include the Stars from Motown, New Orleans, Michigan Rockers, New York and Nashville. Also, both the stars from the 1960’s and the Political Activists are covered as are modern activists. This is the only textbook to highlight many of the great American Women activists, most are completely overlooked by most historians. Science is another theme which emerges many times. We meet America’s greatest spy and scientist who designed the first Space Shuttle and even saves the world form nuclear destruction two times! Other modern scientists who have developed future technologies are introduced. This will in some ways be the first book of modern science which will cause all other science and medical textbooks to be rewritten as it shows that all matter is energy and no density exists as proven by a new technology which makes inflammation and swelling disappear in minutes. Art is another stop along the Magical Mystical Musical and Historical Love Tour. Much is learned through autobiographical stories. Ultimately the series makes the case that Love is the answer to everything both personal and political. Love and Power to the people defeat any army. It is also a book of Mysticism. The current recent history reflects the author’s belief that faith and history cannot be separated. Ultimately all the stories are meant to help people find their own personal purpose. It helps young students to realize each and every person can become an American Watershed right in their local community. Non stop comedy and Entertainment will make this one textbook which students will enjoy rather than dread. The final part is explosive as the writer becomes an American Watershed while writing the stories of change agents of the past.
