This thoroughly researched biography covers Douglass's childhood and young adult years in slavery and his escape from Maryland to Massachusetts. Details of his adult life and concurrent larger events form a well-told story. Burchard sketches the complexities of Douglass's family life and important friendships with men and women. Photographs, prints, and endnotes augment the well-crafted narrative. Bib., ind.

YA
Focusing on Lincoln's life through the lens of slavery, this book reads easily and is full of descriptions of specific incidents, quotations, and anecdotes that add color and detail. The vintage photographs and graphics used to illustrate the work are well labeled, and the index will allow fact-hunters to zero in on topics. Bib., ind.
