The Golden Oak Books storefront at Amazon was made active two days ago after being "disappeared" (my term) for over two months. Links to my books at Amazon should now show sales by Golden Oak Books, my self publishing company, which has two titles in print for those interested in authoritative books on Second Amendment history.
1 - The Origin of the Second Amendment: A Documentary History of the Bill of Rights in Commentaries on Liberty, Free Government, and an Armed Populace, 1787-1792 (892 Pages - A massive document collection available in both hardbound and paperback second editions)
2 - The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms: A Definitive History of the Second Amendment (270 pages - A narrative history in hardbound only)
NOTE: These books are also available by mail order directly from Golden Oak Books at lower prices. Ordering information can be found at my website, secondamendmentinfo.com.
Information on my books:
The Origin of the Second Amendment is a Constitutional Era document collection first published in 1991. ORIGIN was the foundation of Second Amendment history demonstrating the individual rights original understanding in three Federal Court cases - the 2001 5th Circuit Emerson decision quoting ORIGIN 104 times, the 2007 DC Circuit Parker decision citing ORIGIN and repeatedly mentioning Emerson, and in Washington DC's appeal to the Supreme Court of its Parker loss as the Heller case. In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled in Heller that the Second Amendment was intended as a fundamental individual right, quoting ORIGIN a number of times.
The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms is a hardbound narrative history covering the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Constitutional Eras. It identifies the period actors, events, and discussions that brought about American Bills of Rights. The universally present Second Amendment predecessors in such early American documents as well as their universally present context, which originated during the Revolution, are emphasized. The Founders' View was utilized by Alan Gura, the winning attorney in the Heller case, where it was also cited in several pro rights briefs dealing with Second Amendment history. Over 400 citations in The Founders' View are direct page references to period documents reprinted in The Origin of the Second Amendment collection.
