Description
Fifty Famous People: A Book of Short Stories, The Story of Young Abraham Lincoln, Stories of Great Inventors, Ten Boys from History, and American Boy's Life of Theodore Roosevelt are among the Best Children's Biographies included in this set.
A collection of short stories titled Fifty Famous People provides accounts of actual people who lived and participated in the grand drama of world history. While some of these people were more well-known than others, all of them left their mark on the "sands of time," and their names will live on in history. Although not technically biographical, each of the stories has a foundation in reality and a moral lesson that can't help but have a positive impact. Each also has intriguing components that will fascinate the kids who are exposed to it.
The Story of Young Abraham Lincoln - This story tells how young Abraham Lincoln transformed himself from a struggling frontier boy to a visionary statesman. Through hardship and loss, he persevered, using his keen intellect and strong moral compass to guide him on his path to greatness. This is the story of the making of a legend, and an inspiring testament to the power of hard work and perseverance.
Stories of Great Inventors, the title of the book, is a collection of short biographies of some of the most famous and significant inventors in the annals of the scientific revolution. Hattie E. Macomber initially published this book in 1897. The biographies gathered here tell the lives of people such as Samuel Morse, an American painter of portraits and historical scenes, the inventor of a single wire telegraph system and Morse code, Robert Fulton, an American engineer and inventor widely credited with creating the first commercially successful steamboat, Eli Whitney, an American inventor best known for creating the cotton gin, Peter Cooper, an American industrialist, inventor, and philanthropist, and others.
This collection of anecdotes about boys from many cultures and races highlights each boy's notable boyhood accomplishments. No of the boy's history or legend, courage was a defining quality. These ten boys' stories were chosen for their achievements as young boys rather than because they eventually went on to become famous men.
American Boy's Life of Theodore Roosevelt - Any American boy who aspires to succeed and rise to the top of the social ladder should take an interest in Theodore Roosevelt's life. The twenty-sixth President of our nation is a wonderful example of the true American of today: full of vigour and zeal, quick to understand and equally quick to act, unafraid to defend his opinions against all comers when he is confident that he is in the right, independent but not lacking in fine social qualities, physically and morally courageous, and with a faith in himself and his God that is bound to make for good as long as he clings to it.
