Gerard Rose Libri

Many students of American history know of the heroics of Paul Revere, Ethan Allen, Nathaniel Green, and, of course, George Washington, but few know of these two men. Joshua Barney, 23 years old, and his friend and compatriot, David Rose, only 20, played vital roles in key battle, on land and sea, for their nation's independence from Britain. Rose's great grandson times six recounts how both of these brave men put their lives on the line and gave us the freedom we treasure today.

Gerard Rose follows Hamilton and Egberta, junior high school students living on the North Shore above Chicago, on their twenty sightseeing trips around the world. As with the first book featuring Ham and Eggs, each site presents an adventure. And mixed with the entertaining bedtime story is a wealth of interesting historical, geographical, and cultural information that will feed both the children, and the adults who are reading to them.So off you go, from sea to shining sea across America, and around the world... glorious excursions to delight the young at heart of all ages.
