Livingston -- The Declaration of Independence -- Articles of Confederation -- The Federal Constitution -- The Stamp Act -- Names of delegates to the Constitutional Convention."In 1776, fifty-six Americans signed a simple document which unalterably changed the course of this country. Most know of the importance of the Declaration of Independence, but few know much about its Signers. This book (originally published in 1848 by eminent 19th-century historian, Benson J. Lossing) provides a brief biography of each signer of the Declaration. Accompanied by fifty engravings, these biographies shed light on what Lossing terms, 'the chief events in the lives of the men who stood sponsors at the baptism in blood of our infant republic.' Through this book - long used in American schools - we, too, can discover the private and public virtues of those venerated Americans who helped create the most stable and enviable nation in the world."--Page 4 of cover.

Orphan hero : a novel of the civil war / by Babb, John,1946-(CARDINAL)802711;
"From a former US Assistant Surgeon General comes the epic tale of a young man's struggle to survive a journey across America during the Civil War. Told by his stepmother that he alone had been responsible for the death of his mother, abandoned by the earlier departure of his father for the California 1849 goldfields, and threatened with being locked in a cage with his stepmother's psychotic brother, eight-year-old Benjamin Franklin "B.F." Windes decides to abandon home and trail his father's path. Thus begins a trip of constant struggle with disease, severe weather, hardship, Indian attack, and death on his lone journey across much of what is now the United States. B.F. spends the next eleven years in gold rush towns in California--first as a barber, then as a physician's assistant--before departing for the Caribbean at age nineteen, where he becomes a blockade-runner during the American Civil War. At war's end, he discovers that the men he had been dealing with were nothing more than common murderers and thieves--Bushwhackers. He travels to the Missouri Ozarks where he meets the girl of his dreams. But their romance is threatened when he finds himself battling a man from his past in order to safeguard his family and his future. Orphan Hero, based on the life of the author's great-grandfather in the mid-nineteenth century, is a tale of courage and perseverance in the face of incredible hardship. "--
