Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Roth, Roger (illustrator). Hardcover. This magnificent treasury tells the story of America through 100 true tales. Some are tales of triumph—the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the Wright brothers taking to the air, Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon. Some are tales of tragedy—the fate of the Donner party, the great fire in Chicago, the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens. There are stories of inventors and athletes, and abolitionists and artists, stories about struggling for freedom—again and again, in so many ways. With full-color illustrations on nearly every page and short, exciting stories, this book is perfect for browsing by the entire family. Notes at the end of each story direct readers to related stories, and a guide to thematic story arcs offers readers (and teachers) an easy way to follow their particular interests throughout the book. A treasure trove of a book that belongs in every home. With full-color illustrations throughout, this book is destined to be a classic alongside "The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury." The perfect gift for Americans of every age, Tom Browkaw called "The American Story," "Lively and engaging. a wonderful gift."
