Who Was Elmer Ellsworth? This book for young readers tells the story of a young man who worked his way up from a small town life in rural New York to the National spotlight. He was the first celebrity in American history, and helped President Abraham Lincoln in his path to becoming President of the United States. His tragically-short life was inspiration to millions of Americans, and, in the 21st century, he is mostly forgotten. This chapter book shows drawings, paintings, and pictures of his life, and is an easy-read targeted at 5th-8th graders. This is the story of Elmer Ellsworth, whom President Lincoln called, "The greatest little man I ever met"! Please note: books in this series may discuss some subjects that may be disturbing to young readers, such as war, racism, slavery, sexism, tyranny, and others in a historical situation and setting. Please keep that in mind!
