November is Native American Heritage month
Osceola, Cochise, and Tecumseh are three Native American heroes who
fought valiantly for their land and for their people. This book is
divided into three parts--each part recounting the life of one of
these great heroes. Their true stories are emotionally gripping and
tragic, and Ann McGovern handles delicate topics, such as violence
and racism, expertly for young readers. The narrative text is
supplemented by black-and-white original source materials
throughout (i.e. photographs, maps, portraits, a newspaper
article).
