Who Was Abigail Adams?

By True Kelley

The main lesson in the story (Who was Abigail Adams) is that it is talking about a women rights to live in the whit house because even day you don't see as many women that live in the whit house.Also the second main idea is that when it was election time women weren't allowed ti vote because all back when Geroge Washington was around they still don't want women to vote because of the president at the time,On the other hand you sould check this book out at the libary because if you like to learn about ''facts'' and other people then you sould check it out this book,they have diffrent authors for each story and they are only $5!and they are called the ''who was'' seires. they have books about George Washington,Walt Disney.and one unanswered question is that did you like a president husband?

Who Was Clara Barton?

Who Was Clara Barton?

By Stephanie Spinner

Who was Clara Barton is a great book. It was a story of her life from the day she was born to the day she died. It told a lot about how she helped so many people. It told who her parents and siblings were and where she moved to. It also told all of the jobs she had and gave you a look at what people’s life was like back then. Of course, it had some gross spots in it because she was a nurse in the civil war. It also told how Doctor’s did stuff back then.

Who Was Daniel Boone?

Who Was Daniel Boone?

By Sydelle Kramer

Who was Daniel Boone? Was written by Sydelle Kramer and Illustrated by George Ulrich Does someone that live in the woods and uses natures resources to live on interest you? Daniel Boone was born on November 2, 1734 in Reading Pennsylvania. Daniels daughter Jemima was captured by the Shawnee Indians and was later rescued by Daniel. On July 14, 1776 3 teenage girls were captured by the Shawnee Indians while they were floating on canoes on the Kentucky river, one of which was Jemima, Daniels daughter. Daniel was in constant battle with the Indians for land. That was always a big struggle for Daniel and his wife Rebecca. At one point Daniel decided to work with the Indians they even gave him an Indian name of Sheltowee, or Big Turtle. I enjoyed this book because it dealt with conflicts in the 1700's and even now a days we still have these arguments. But it shows us a positive side of how to work through it.
