<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This series of biographies, longtime favorites of young readers, now add the first new titles in over 20 years. Rich or poor, great American men and women lived out childhoods as vastly different as the adults they became. Here young readers will learn about the early years of the first person to step foot on the moon, a historic feat he described as "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Neil Armstrong didn't grow up wanting to be an astronaut--because there were no astronauts in 1930. But he did love to fly from an early age, and after serving in the Korean War and then finishing college, he joined the organization that would eventually become NASA. <p/>As the first man to walk on the moon in 1969, his comment, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," was heard by millions, and Neil Armstrong's influence on the world didn't stop there. <p/>From his early years in Ohio to his NASA career, to his later service as an aerospace professor and on Congressional panels, Neil Armstrong's life is a legacy to be admired, and this narrative biography illuminates his childhood.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Montrew Dunham is the author of a number of historical biographies for young readers in the popular Childhood of Famous Americans series.
