HAMMER, LORETTA C. AND GAIL M. KARWOSKI, JAMES WATLING (ILLUSTRATOR). The Tree That Owns Itself: And Other Adventure Tales from Out of the Past. Peachtree Publishers, 1996..Paperback. ISBN: 1561451207. THE TWELVE STORIES in this book by teachers Loretta Hammer and Gail Karwoski take place in Georgia from the Revolutionary War period to the present. Fictional characters--often children--interact with the heroes and villains of history, from Olympic weightlifter Paul Anderson, once the strongest man alive, to the pirate Blackbeard; from Revolutionary War heroine Nancy Hart to John Ross, leader of the Cherokee Nation. This long-overdue collection of historical fiction for young readers not only makes history more enjoyable, it educates as it entertains. The authors have provided a time line to put the stories in historical perspective, a map to show the location of events, and a concluding note following each story that reveals the facts behind the fiction. , Inscribed by author - CLEAN!!
