Summary |
Künstlers paintings bring history to life with vivid, high-action portrayals of the primary events that won Americans their freedom from Britain: the Boston Tea Party, the Siege of Yorktown, Paul Reveres ride, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The epic artworks faithfully chronicle these moments from history and encourage children to look again and again for special detailsfrom the number of stars on George Washingtons flag to the style of a soldiers uniform. Together with text by award-winning historian Alan Axelrod, these brilliantly explicit paintings engage a young readers attention and introduce them to American history through the visual arts. |
