Cartoon Chronicles of America series.
Sam, a young slave, and Annabelle, daughter of the Virginia plantation's owner, both play roles in the Battle of Fredericksburg. This fast-paced fictional Civil War account draws on historical events and individuals, and the comic-strip format makes it an easy, engaging package for reluctant readers. The prologue introduces the historical backdrop, while the epilogue delineates fact from fiction.

Cartoon Chronicles of America series.
Illustrated by
Stan Mack.
Tension is brewing in the city of Boston, and the American Revolution is at hand. Two plucky youngsters, Nick and Penny, become involved in the war, helping famous patriots such as Paul Revere outsmart the Redcoats. A prologue and back matter help distinguish fact from fiction in this engaging graphic novel.
