Books with author James Daugherty

In England in the early 1600s, everyone was forced to join the Church of England. Young William Bradford and his friends believed they had every right to belong to whichever church they wanted. In the name of religious freedom, they fled to Holland, then sailed to America to start a new life. But the winter was harsh, and before a year passed, half the settlers had died. Yet, through hard work and strong faith, a tough group of Pilgrims did survive. Their belief in freedom of religion became an American ideal that still lives on today. James Daugherty draws on the Pilgrims' own journals to give a fresh and moving account of their life and traditions, their quest for religious freedom, and the founding of one of our nation's most beloved holidays — Thanksgiving.

James Daugherty has turned his pen to the greatest American of them all: Abraham Lincoln. His book is the people's Lincoln, Lincoln the man--seen through the clear eyes of an artist and poet, American to the bone. Illustrated with lithographs in two colors by the author. the drawings are the result of study of the rich photographic material of the period. Lincoln in many moods. The illustrations are true lithographs, done on stone. The finished lithographs were transferred from the original stones to large zinc printing plates. These were run on a high speed offset press to produce the finished pictures as you see them in this book which was first published in November 1943.
