The History of American Sign Language

By Carol J. Nickens

American Sign Language, commonly known as, "A.S.L." has a rich history that is seldom told. It is truly the original language of the United States. Just like the diversity of U.S.A. citizens, this language is an assimilation of languages and cultures blended together to create a unique language that has stood the test of time and controversies. This book explores the origins, heros, and development of this language. An easy to read format with photos and illustrations for readers of all ages to enjoy.
