Customer Reviews

Excellent review of 50 patriots.

This book is written for Jr. High readers; however, even adults can gain much knowledge from it. It contains well-researched facts about the U.S.A.'s spiritual heritage. I bought several to use as gifts.

A Child's Treasure Chest of Stories

My nephew enjoyed receiving this book as a gift, with its prominent picture of Abraham Lincoln on the front, along with other famous Americans. Many of these stories cover the same individuals he is studying in school. It is always nice to let children read outside books. All the Americans discussed have made true contributions to our young republic, and serve well as role models. A recommended book for any public or private library.

A "must read" and perfect for your home library

This book is a treasure - it seems to be one of a kind! It provides a coupling of American History and people of Christian faith. The very short stories about fifty people from 1000 through 1900A.D.(from Lief Ericson through Katherine Lee Bates), are factual, brief, and interesting with colorful illustrations. My four-year old son loves this book to be read to him, especially at bedtime. Although (and I am guessing) this book was probably intended for middle-school aged children, I believe it is terrific for all ages----even myself!--as I have not only "brushed up" on my memory of American History, but have also learned a great deal from reading this book. It is non-offensive to any age group. For parents who want to give their children an early start in this subject matter (especially those who are home-schooling or following the Glenn Doman approach to educaation----this is outstanding and a must for your home library.) I hope the author produces more books of similar quality!
