The American Heroes and Monuments series of eBooks is designed to introduce young readers to the heroes ---from early settlers, to generals, to the common man---of American history. Their heroics led future generations to create monuments to celebrate these achievements. These monuments have their own stories that celebrate the country’s heritage.
There is no reason for American history to be written about as boring. Nor should its countless stories of bravery be dismissed or belittled.
The forging of a great nation from a wilderness is a story of men and women of all races and creeds, across generations, who toiled, risked, and sacrificed for freedom.
The American Revolution provided opportunity for colonists, both male and female, to step up and to perform heroically. Many did.
Francis Marion’s actions and leadership led to a famed nickname—The Swamp Fox.
This name and his exploits led Disney Studio to create a long-running TV series to celebrate his life and to entertain millions.
Recently, his story formed the basis of the Mel Gibson movie---The Patriot
As it happens, the non-fiction fiction format actually supports the literacy standard of Common Core.
