Experience the American dream with today’s Patriot of the Past interview. I’m your host, John Gillespie.
It’s December 2, 1833. I’m in Washington D.C. with Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story.
JG: “Justice Story, what are a few of the key points of your book Commentaries on the Constitution?”
JS: “Mr. Gillespie, it is essential that when interpreting the text of the Constitution, we first strive for the original intent of its authors. It is also imperative we recognize that our Constitution presupposes a Creator, whose laws guide us.”
Joseph Story’s Commentaries is a classic text on the original intent of our founders’ vision when creating a constitution.

John and Jan Gillespie are the founders of the Rawhide Boys’ Ranch; they have fostered 351 teenagers and wrote the book Our 351 Sons; they have also assisted numerous churches in developing youth programs and expanding their total church ministries. After running for U.S. Senate, John founded 1776 American Dream, which exists to demonstrate the vision of our founding fathers and help our generation of youth passionately embrace those values.
