Good Book...

Good book about a great American. Lincoln's Admiral by James Duffy is more complete. ... Farragut was of Spanish ancestry not Latin American, or so called latino in today's political correctness. Let's not bend the facts of Farragut's ancestry solely to make Latinos feel more American. There are many "latinos" who have been war heroes, medal of Honor recipients. Latinos & Spanish Americans should be and I know are proud of the role they have played in this great country of ours , the USA.

David Farragut

This is a great book for students with limited English proficiency. The life of David Farragut is presented in Spanish on one page and English on the next. This not only helps these students learn English but gives them a book which they can read successfully. There is also the pride they recieve from learning about the contributions made by one of their own ethnic group. There should be many more books like this.
