Description
Each of us is influenced by those who've gone before: those we personally know, and those we have only heard of or read about. Seemingly distant, those who played major roles in our nation's government have had significant impact on our lives. First written in 1896 by famous author and schoolteacher James Baldwin, these biographies for children highlight four such men. First, two esteemed presidents: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Secondly, Benjamin Franklin (in particular, his service to the US) and Daniel Webster (congressman, constitutional lawyer, and Secretary of State under 3 presidents). Each of the 15 chapters elaborate on the life of a featured character from childhood to his last years, highlighting the trials and successes which built their character, in turn providing us with role models and inspiration. 6"x 9", 184 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
