In the late 1930s it occurred to Foster to write about history in a horizontal versus vertical fashion, i.e., that national histories should not be taught in isolation from one another. She said that the way history was traditionally taught was about as dull and unsatisfying, as a play might be, if only one character appeared upon the stage, while the others faintly mumbled their lines in the wings, out of sight of the audience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eShe was at the forefront of this new method of historical writing, which viewed history as a cross section of intertwined events and looked at a person in their worldwide historical context. In her books, she integrated global historical events into the telling of a person's life. Her purpose was to make historical figures alive for children. During her career she wrote 19 nonfiction children's books. Foster traveled extensively and most of her books were translated into 12 15 languages and were distributed by the U.S. State Department.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eFoster wrote, nearly fifty years ago, that nothing is more critical, I believe, than that children growing up in these critical explosive days should be given an understanding of American history as a part of the history of the world. Every year this grows more urgent, as increasingly rapid communication integrates world events more closely and the impact of foreign affairs on our own lives becomes more serious and immediate.

In the late 1930s it occurred to Foster to write about history in a horizontal versus vertical fashion, i.e., that national histories should not be taught in isolation from one another. She said that the way history was traditionally taught was about as dull and unsatisfying, as a play might be, if only one character appeared upon the stage, while the others faintly mumbled their lines in the wings, out of sight of the audience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eShe was at the forefront of this new method of historical writing, which viewed history as a cross section of intertwined events and looked at a person in their worldwide historical context.

The few that were left fled the island and sailed to the island of Santa Catalina in the east, but Karana, The Girl with the Long Black Hair, and Ramo, her brother, were left behind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-37e8a05d-7fff-e712-eb92-cf32fe39668d\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eScott O'Dell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e (1898-1989), one of the most respected authors of historical fiction, received the Newbery Medal, three Newbery Honor Medals, and the Hans Christian Andersen Author Medal, the highest international recognition for a body of work by an author of books for young readers.

If only one elementary school teacher had egged me on, I think I would have acquired art skills much earlier than I did. Turkle had an immense interest in the theatre, but the uncertainty of that life wasn't appealing. After a job in advertising in Chicago, he married and moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he was able to indulge his theatrical interests.

But no matter how successfully I may entertain, I am really up to something else: subversion. My abilities are implacably lined up against the hypocrisy, materialism and brutality that so pervade our society. As my readers leave childhood behind, I hope that they will carry with them an appreciation for such alternatives as integrity, mutual respect, kindness and reverence for life.

This is the age of Napoleon, Jefferson, Toussaint, Livingston, Robert Fulton, Richard Trevithick, Beethoven, Lewis and Clark, Sacajawea, Dolley Madison and many more. Foster's use of horizontal history weaves these stories together by delightful retellings and whimsical illustrations.About the Author:Genevieve Foster began her career as a commercial artist, illustrator, and advertiser. In the late 1930s it occurred to Foster to write about history in a horizontal versus vertical fashion, i.e., that national histories should not be taught in isolation from one another. She said that the way history was traditionally taught was about as dull and unsatisfying, as a play might be, if only one character appeared upon the stage, while the others faintly mumbled their lines in the wings, out of sight of the audience.She was at the forefront of this new method of historical writing, which viewed history as a cross section of intertwined events and looked at a person in their worldwide historical context. In her books, she integrated global historical events into the telling of a person's life. Her purpose was to make historical figures alive for children. During her career she wrote 19 nonfiction children's books. Foster traveled extensively and most of her books were translated into 12 languages and were distributed by the U.S. State Department.","brand":"Beautiful Feet Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46185096609958,"sku":"9781893103313","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/0174\/4550\/files\/Year_of_the_Horseless_Carriage_The_processed.jpg?v=1750879256"},{"product_id":"virginias-general","title":"Virginia's General","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-4762d2e4-7fff-4129-51cb-2f88422a4cf5\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003ePortraying this iconic figure, Marrin paints a complete picture of this complex man.

I have lived all my life in New England, and though I love to travel I can't imagine ever calling any other place on earth home. Since I can't remember a time when I didn't intend to write, it is hard to explain why I took so long getting around to it in earnest. But the years seemed to go by very quickly. In 1936 I married Alden Speare and came to Connecticut. Not till both children were in junior high did I find time at last to sit down quietly with a pencil and paper. I turned naturally to the things which had filled my days and thoughts and began to write magazine articles about family living. Then one day I stumbled on a true story from New England history with a character who seemed to me an ideal heroine. Though I had my first historical novel almost by accident it soon proved to be an absorbing hobby. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eElizabeth George Speare\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e (1908-1994) won the 1959 Newbery Medal for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe Witch of Blackbird Pond\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e, and the 1962 Newbery Medal for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe Bronze Bow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e.

From Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall to seamstress Rosa Parks, extraordinary individuals led us back to the ideals espoused by the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
