Eight Miracles that Saved America
History is full of stories of coincidences, unusual twists and turns which lead one to speculate. Did those events happen purely by chance? Or were they miracles? Do miracles really happen?
Lee Simonson explored eight particular events that occurred between 1755 and 1942. Each of these events was a crucial flash point in America’s creation and survival. Lee presented the evidence and left it to us to consider if these occurrences were truly miraculous or pure blind luck.
Mr. Simonson, who served as a Niagara County Legislator for 32 years is a former President of the Historical Association of Lewiston and was recognized as Lewiston’s Citizen of the Year in 2014. He has been involved with the Tuscarora Heroes Monument project, the Freedom Crossing Movement and the Battle of Queenston Heights reenactment in Ontario.
