Margaret Brown earned her nickname as the Unsinkable Molly Brown after she survived the sinking of the Titanic. This illustrated, graphic retelling of the events of her life will enthrall readers. Aside from her part in the Titanic story, Margaret Brown was deeply involved in advocating for literacy, education, suffrage, and human rights, especially rights for children. She worked hard on behalf of the survivors of the shipwreck, too. This is an interesting story of a true American legend.

The American Civil War was a time of great upheaval in our nation. Slavery was becoming a major issue, and the decision over what to do formed a great rift in our nation. The story of the Hatfields and McCoys demonstrates just how high emotions ran between the two sides. One mans choice to fight for the Union when his neighbors have joined forces with the Confederacy launches two families into an infamous feud that lasts for half a century and causes many deaths.

The story of Molly Pitcher highlights a side of the American Revolution not often touched upon in history booksthe role of women. The legend of Molly Pitcher tells of a woman who has followed her husband to the war and brings water to the soldiers in battle. When her husband is killed, she takes up his station and fires the cannon at the British. Historians think this could be a compilation of many true stories of women who helped out in the war, specifically of Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley or Margaret Corbin. This lesson in history and courage that gives a different perspective on events is a welcome addition to any library collection.
