This work by Jan Adams is a childhood biography of this important historical figure. Illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Dear Reader: <br> The Childhood of Famous Americans series, seventy years old in 2002, chronicles the early years of famous American men and women in an accessible manner. Each book is faithful in spirit to the values and experiences that influenced the person¹s development. History is fleshed out with fictionalized details, and conversations have been added to make the stories come alive to today¹s reader, but every reasonable effort has been made to make the stories consistent with the events, ethics, and character of their subjects. <br> These books reaffirm the importance of our American heritage. We hope you learn to love the heroes and heroines who helped shape this great country. And by doing so, we hope you also develop a lasting love for the nation that gave them the opportunity to make their dreams come true. It will do the same for you. <br> Happy Reading! <br> The Editors<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jan Adkins was raised in West Virginia and Ohio, around Wheeling.
