Reviews
Young readers are introduced to notable Americans from the past. Chief Joseph was a Nez Percé leader who fought when the United States government refused to honor treaties, Crispus Attucks was the first patriot to die in the American War of Independence, Daniel Boone led the way west, and Deborah Sampson was one of the first women to serve in the U.S. military. The volumes are interesting, informative, and ably relate facts about the subjects and their lives. The legend of Boone wearing coonskin hats is discounted (he preferred beaver), and he enslaved people. The author of Crispus Attucks admits that little is known about Attucks's life after he escaped slavery. Colorful illustrations complement the texts. These well-written volumes introduce notable Americans, and respect readers enough to provide facts instead of myths. VERDICT Browsers and report writers alike will find these books attractive. Selectors should definitely consider.--Margaret Nunes, formerly at Gwinnett County Public Library, GA ""School Library Journal""
