Where can I find a specific set of middle school children's biographies on famous Americans from the 60s?
Q. My father-in-law remembers a set of biographies from the 60s in his junior high library. There were about 25 books. The biographies included Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson, Paul Revere, and Daniel Boone. They had brownish-orange covers. I found my own answer. Childhood of Famous Americans is the name of the series.
Asked by kevgrass - Sun May 11 12:32:24 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Childhood of Famous Americans is a more modern series of biographies. Your Father-in-Law is remembering a series by GROSSET and DUNLAP called the Signature Biographies. The same company also had a series of historical fiction where the title usually started "We were there..." In the Signature Biographies the PERSON's signature was on the front cover and yes they were a brown-orange color. You can sometimes find them in used bookstores but they are all out of print. Your father-in-law must be close to my age since I also read those books in the 1960's and I've been trying to collect as many as I can for my niece and nephew. The inside cover of the Signature Biographies also usually pictured 10 major events (with dates) in the life of… [cont.]

Is it pointless to read multiple biographies on the same person?
Q. I just finished reading Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson. I found Einstein's life so interesting that I'd like to read more about him, but would reading another biography just give me the same information that I already got from the first one I read? Any suggestions on what else I could do to satisfy my Einstein-thirst?
Asked by bluewind31 - Sat Dec 27 15:38:25 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, it's not pointless, especially if it's a subject that interests you. Many of the facts will be the same, but some won't be, and rereading the facts that were in your first book will help you to remember the information better. Also, some biographies might go into more detail on a topic than others. The more you read, the fuller the understanding you'll have of him, so I don't think it's pointless at all. And about your second question regarding other suggestions to "satisfy [your] Einstein-thirst," you could watch documentaries. I'm sure plenty of them have been made and it might be helpful to associate some images with the text you've been reading.

You might start with one of these Thomas Patrick Hughes, Missionary to British India: The Class Ceiling By Elizabeth Hughes Clark or The Attitudes of British Protestant Missionaries towards Nationalism in India: With Special Reference to Madras Presidency, 1919-1927 Author: Elizabeth Susan Alexander or Social protest in India : British Protestant missionaries and social reforms, 1850-1900 by Geoffrey A Oddie and then use their bibliographies to find what you need.

A. When I was in 7th grade, I did my biography project on the book "Let's Roll" I can't remember who it's by. It's rather long, though. I chose one of the more advanced books. It's about the wife of a man that died on 9/11. I probably only read it because it was new at the time. Anne Frank has some pretty interesting biographies. Especially her diary. But, of course, she's not living today..

A. Winston Churchill was an extraordinarily good historian and an adept writer to boot. His book 'My Early Life 1874-1904" is well worth reading. 'The Last Lion, Winston Spencer Churchill, Visions of Glory' by William Manchester is extraordinarily long and, in my opinion, tedious ... since it is just a series of facts in chronological order. The book has no heart. There are two biographies that you might might to give some thought to ... The first is 'Churchill, A Life' by Martin Gilbert. (In my opinion the best). The second is 'Churchill, A Biography' by Roy Jenkins. (Took most of his research from Martin Gilbert above, but he was an opposition contemporary in Parliament and has lots of little anecdotes). I have provided reviews… [cont.]

Asked by Introspection - Fri Dec 23 16:32:05 2005 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I can't say that I know of any biographies that have brought me the results that you are looking for. I've read biographies on Rockefeller, Ronald Reagan, Trump, Mary Kay, Martha Stewart, and maybe some others along the way, but none of them charged me up. Whenever I am feeling down, I don't read a book, but rather excerpts from the Bible or a collection of quotes that I have. It's easier to act on a short statement than on something that takes several hours to read. That's why people can lose more weight in 10 days than in 30.
