Authors: Candace Fleming. Hardcover, 200 pagesPublisher: Schwartz & Wade Publication Date: 2008-10-14 Reviews :
THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR of Ben Franklin’s Almanac and Our Eleanor has created an enthralling joint biography of our greatest president and his complex wife unlike any other—a scrapbook history that uses photographs, letters, engravings, and even cartoons, along with a fascinating text, to form an enthralling museum on the page.

The Big Book of the Civil War: Fascinating Facts about the Civil War, Including Historic Photographs, Maps, and Documents
Authors: Joanne Mattern. Hardcover, 56 pagesPublisher: Running Press Publication Date: 2007-02-26 Reviews :
Even though there have been wars during their lifetime, young readers continue to have a particular fascination for the one war where Americans fought each other. Most children study it in school; a surprising number continue to pursue it on their own. Yet, there is shockingly little out there for kids in the 8-12 age group. The Big Book of the Civil War fills that niche bountifully. The book is organized so that it’s easy to see how the social and political groundwork was laid and to follow the course that led up to the opening volley-the firing on Fort Sumter-and beyond. Each phase of the war is presented clearly in a two-page spread that explains all the critical events that propelled the conflict forward. Also included are maps of Civil War America as well as the major battlefields. In a concise presentation of historic facts, this book never fails to also capture the imagination. ...

. . . If You Lived When There Was Slavery in America
Authors: Anne Kamma. Pamela Johnson. Paperback, 80 pagesPublisher: Scholastic Inc. Publication Date: 2004-02-01 Reviews :
It is hard to imagine that, once, a person in America could be "owned" by another person. But from the time the colonies were settled in the 1600s until the end of the Civil War in 1865, millions of black people were bought and sold like goods. Where did the slaves come from?
