Hyatt, Patricia Rusch

Illustrated by
Kathryn Brown.
Hyatt tells the intriguing story of Joseph "Beard" Palmer, whose stubborn insistence on wearing a beard when facial hair was not de rigeur landed him in jail for a year. Brown's spirited illustrations offer a taste of New England in the early 1800s; their depiction of Palmer's extraordinarily long and bushy whiskers reflects his larger-than-life personality. A useful historical note is appended.
