Children's Literature
"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" Since he spoke those famous words in March of 1775, Americans have been taught about the patriot Patrick Henry. He was one of Virginia's earliest heroes and later became the commonwealth's first governor. Henry lived during an important time—the birth of the United States. This book presents his life in good detail and with age appropriate material. It does not gloss over the social conditions of the times. Slavery is presented. There are reproductions of historical paintings that show the events of the times. There is also a timeline, glossary, and a section on further information that includes web sites, related books, and places to visit. This title is part of the 36-title series "Our People." 2004, The Child's World, Ages 9 to 12.—Sharon Strickland
