More DescriptionWith this exciting set, readers will learn about the intertwined lives of historical figures both famous and infamous. John Wilkes Booth is one of history's most notorious assassins, but what events in his life led him to shoot Abraham Lincoln? Thomas Jefferson has a complicated legacy as both Founding Father and slave-owner of more than 600 African Americans. Readers find out why one woman he enslaved, Sally Hemings, still makes news headlines today. While we've heard of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes, did you know that an indigenous woman named La Malinche served as his advisor, companion, and interpreter? With a fresh take on historical biographies, this set offers students a critical sense of perspective on legendary men and women who seemed to be joined by fate. Features include: Central theme is the intertwined lives of historical figures, which supports the C3 Framework's foundational principle of history as interpretive. Educates readers about the need to evaluate history as more contextual information emerges. Covers lesser-known figures, like La Malinche, who are now being integrated into state curricular standards. Detailed Chronologies, Chapter Notes, and Further Reading sections offer in-depth information and additional resources for study.
