How did a New York printer become one of the most influential poets
of all time? Find out in this addition to the Who HQ library! Walt
Whitman was a printer, journalist, editor, and schoolteacher. But
today, he's recognized as one of America's founding poets, a man
who changed American literature forever. Throughout his life, Walt
journeyed everywhere, from New York to New Orleans, Washington D.C.
to Denver, taking in all that America had to offer. With the Civil
War approaching, he saw a nation deeply divided, but he also
understood the power of words to inspire unity. So in 1855, Walt
published a short collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, a book
about the America he saw and believed in. Though hated and
misunderstood by many at the time, Walt's writing introduced an
entirely new writing style: one that broke forms, and celebrated
the common man, human body, and the diversity of America.
Generations later, readers can still find themselves in Whitman's
words, and recognize the America he depicts. Who Was Walt Whitman?
follows his remarkable journey from a young New York printer to one
of America's most beloved literary figures.

Reconstruction - the period after the Civil War - was meant to give
newly freed Black people the same rights as white people. And
indeed there were monumental changes once slavery ended - thriving

hope didn’t last long and instead, a deeply segregated United
States continued on for another hundred years. Find out what went
wrong in this fascinating overview of a troubled time.

heading to California for an entire winter in this latest addition
to the New York Times Bestselling What Was? series. In the winter
of 1846-47, a group of eighty-seven pioneers heading from the
Midwest to California found themselves snowbound in the Sierra
Nevada mountain range with no way forward and no food or supplies.
While forty-eight of the group members survived, the others
perished due to extreme weather, starvation, and illness. To
survive, the remaining people resorted to extreme
measures...including cannibalism. Learn about the many
miscalculations, bad decisions, and extreme weather that led to the
demise of nearly half of the Donner Party in this book for young
readers about one of California's first major disasters.
We the people at Who HQ bring readers the full story--arguments and
all--of how the United States Constitution came into being. Signed
on September 17, 1787--four years after the American War for
Independence--the Constitution laid out the supreme law of the
United States of America. Today it's easy for us to take this
blueprint of our government for granted. But the
Framers--fifty-five men from almost all of the original 13
states--argued fiercely for many months over what ended up being
only a four-page document. Here is a fascinating behind-the-scenes
look at the hotly fought issues--those between Northern and
Southern States; big states and little ones--and the key players
such as James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington
who suffered through countless revisions to make the Constitution
happen.

The panic-filled summer of 1916, when multiple deadly shark attacks
shocked the nation, is chronicled in this gripping addition to the
New York Times Best-Selling What Was? series. On July 1, 1916,
witnesses watched in horror as twenty-eight-year-old Charles
Vansant was attacked and killed by a shark in shallow water off
Beach Haven, New Jersey—the first recorded shark attack in
American history. Scientists claimed a shark could not be
responsible, but more deadly attacks soon followed along the Jersey
Shore and up the freshwater Matawan Creek, setting off a nationwide
panic that led the White House to declare a “War on Sharks.” In
this illustrated book, which features 16 pages of black-and-white
photographs, readers will learn about the likely culprit (or
culprits) in the attacks—the great white shark and the bull
shark—and how the bloody summer of 1916 would change how people
viewed sharks forever.

got his chance. But history might just have other ideas. Further
