A Salute to Patriotism is the story of Howard Peckham, father of the author Jean Peckham Kavale. This is the story of a man who knew, from a young age, exactly what he wanted to do with his life. It is the story of a man who devoted his life to that mission, serving the country that he loved. Understanding the way that a military man not only acts, but how he feels and thinks about things, is interesting to anyone and Major General Howard Peckham definitely led an interesting life as depicted throughout this book. But this isn’t just a book of the professional work of the Major General. No, it’s also about his personal life and his relationship with his wife and children as well.
I found it very interesting learning about history in this way. The author’s voice really comes through and it’s obvious that there is a lot of care and love for her father. There is also plenty of information from the author’s point of view to go along with what is being said about wars and invasions that her father took part in. She has a lot of pride in what her father managed to accomplish and how he did it. There’s a reason he was a Major General, after all. This is excellently written and it is also very descriptive. I was intrigued by everything I read and would definitely do better with history if it was all written this way.
