Synopsis

This book tells the dramatic events in the lives of six individuals who overcame great difficulties to become American heroes who continue to inspire us today.--Susan Anthony was arrested for voting and found guilty by a directed verdict written before the trial began, but she continued to work to gain for women the right to vote.--George W. Carver born as a slave, kidnapped as an infant, overcame life long hardships to become a world-class botanist who changed the way of life for the poor Southern farmer.--Thomas A. Edison was called a failure when thousands of his experiments were unsuccessful. He refused to give up and is now recognized as the world's greatest inventor.-- Abraham Lincoln endured many personal disappointments but preserved the Union during the Civil War and proved to the world that democracy works.--Sequoyah worked entirely alone, rejected even by his own family but developed an alphabet so his Cherokee nation could learn to read and write. --Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and risk her life using the Underground Railroad to escort more than 300 Southern slaves to freedom in the North.
