The Amazing Age of John Roy Lynch
BY: Chris Barton
Illustrated by Don Tate
Summary: this chronicles of the life of John Roy Lynch. It
starts with his terrible beginnings as a slave and continues until to show his
strength and accomplishments as he ends up and ends as a member of the U.S. Congress.
Rating/ Evaluation: I think that this would be a great story
to read to students who are in the upper elementary grades. They would be able
to see what life was like for the slaves in the time leading up to the civil
war. This story is also powerful in providing that anyone, regardless of color
can accomplish anything that they set their mind to.
