So many answers . . .

I've heard Frederick Douglass' name for years, all throughout history classes, but never had a really good idea of what he contributed to history. Ms. Weidt has done an excellent job of weaving pertinent facts about this hero's life into an intriguing narrative. Interesting for both children and adults, this book does much to evoke the strong-minded, highly-principled person who inspired so many others to follow his example. I highly recommend this book.
