A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Because of her passion for history, Fredda spent ten years teaching advanced American Literature and the history that must go with the subject. "I soon found that I could capture my students' attention by simply adding a third dimension: the effect that the happenings of yesterday (the things we call history today) must have had on the lives of the people who lived through them. It was while I was teaching that I confirmed what I had suspected.history can be fun when it is presented in a reader-friendly, chronological narrative. Almost from the time I first put pen to paper, I realized that just as I had taught my students years ago, literature is not created within a vacuum; neither is history." From a seedling idea of preserving the history of a single county, The View From the Old Oak Tree grew until it had recorded the story of a decade, a chronology of some of the most dynamic and interesting times on the Texas frontier, 1854-1863.
