Description - The Revolutionary War by Alan Axelrod
Young readers learn and interact with the story of America's war for independence through the epic paintings of America's foremost historical artist, Mort Kunstler For the first title in this series, Kunstler's paintings bring history to life with vivid, high-action portrayals of the primary events that won Americans their freedom from Britain: the Boston Tea Party, the Siege of Yorktown, Paul Revere's ride, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The epic artworks faithfully chronicle these moments from history and encourage children to look again and again for special details-from the number of stars on George Washington's flag to the style of a soldier's uniform. Together with text by award-winning historian Alan Axelrod, these brilliantly explicit paintings engage a young reader's attention and introduce them to American history through the visual arts. AGES: 7 and up AUTHOR: Mort Kunstler is an American painter and the world's most collected Civil War artist. Alan Axelrod is a historian and author of more than twenty books on American history. REVIEWS: "Mort Kunstler's art is known for its graphic realism and vivid detail. He has spent a lifetime studying costumes and gear, the appurtenances of different periods of our past. And in almost every painting he tells a story, adding another dimension to the great American saga."-Dee Brown, historian and author of 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' 16 illustrations
