U. S. Presidential History Bites (Solomon Schmidt)
From the author, Solomon Schmidt:
“U.S. Presidential History Bites is the second book in the History Bites series. Like the first book (U. S. History Bites), this was also written specifically for young children. The goal is to help increase their knowledge of the U.S. presidents.
It has 280 full color pages with 45 sections, including one about our most recent president, Donald J. Trump.
To enhance comprehension, it also includes vocabulary and review questions for each section, along with a glossary at the end of the book. It serves as a great read aloud but can also be enjoyed by independent readers, beginning in the primary grades. Both books were written to provide readers with bite-sized chunks of history with the goal of helping them retain what they have read. I really hope you enjoy it.”

The War Between the States: Study Guide (John J. Dwyer)
Few events in America’s history have been as influential – or as complicated – as the bloody war between our Southern and Northern states. No other event has so vividly underscored our strengths and weaknesses as a people and as a nation, and no other event has so changed our citizenry and our government.
In order to more clearly explain this conflict, John J. Dwyer has compiled documents on the development of social and religious ideas that preceded secession and war. The battles are described in detail and strategic context, depicting their effect on soldiers and civilians alike. At the war’s conclusion, there were further changes to society, attitudes, and legislation.
This study guide is provided to accompany the 700-page hardcover book The War Between the States: America’s Uncivil War. Exercises are provided for each of the book’s 38 chapters. Features include detailed chapter summaries, lists of identification terms and fill-in-the blank completion exercises, timeline exercises, suggestions for essays, and thought questions.

A Holy Baptism of Fire & Blood (James P. Byrd)
No book was more important to the Civil War than the Bible. From Massachusetts to Mississippi and beyond, the Bible was the nation’s most read and respected book. It presented a drama of salvation and damnation, of providence and judgment, of sacred history and sacrifice.
When Americans argued over the issues that divided them — slavery, secession, patriotism, authority, white supremacy, and violence — the Bible was the book they most often invoked.
