CAPSTONE PRESS
GRAPHIC LIBRARY: AMERICAN HISTORY GN'S
by Various
The story of the United States, from its rebellion against Great Britain to the
construction of the Statue of Liberty, is celebrated in this line of illustrated
histories designed to teach school children about history. The spark of the
American Revolution is told in The Boston Tea Party, as Boston merchants and
patriots protest Britain's excessive taxation by destroying shipments of tea in
Boston Harbor. As Britain moves to quell Boston's rebellion, Paul Revere's Ride
alerts the countryside outside Boston of the movement of Britain's army. Winter
at Valley Forge tells the compelling story of George Washington's army, reeling
from defeats in New York and Pennsylvania, as it rebuilds for the coming
campaign in conditions of deprivation and cold. The War of Independence won, the
nascent United States turned to The Creation of the U.S. Constitution to form a
new government that could govern the former British colonies as a unified
nation. Three decades after the American Revolution Britain and America went to
war once more, and the story of a young lawyer named Francis Scott Key and the
poem he wrote upon witnessing of the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore's
harbor is told in The Story of the Star-Spangled Banner. Finally, a century
after America's independence from Britain, a sculptor in France celebrates the
spark of liberty lit by America, and his story — and the story of his greatest
creation — is told in The Story of the Statue of Liberty. These stories, by
comics creators like Dave Hoover, Matt Doeden, Terry Beatty, Gordon Purcell, and
more, will educate children in the American experience. (C: 0-1-2)
