THE 4th OF JULY STORY

by Alice Dalgliesh ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

In simplified yet straightforward terms, Miss Dalgliesh has retold the events leading up to the Declaration of Independence and interpreted their meaning for the youngest question askers. Broadly sketched, the material covers the highlights- the thirteen colonies, their wish to govern themselves, Jefferson's writing of the Declaration at the request of the Congressional committee, the carrying of the news and the steps taken, under Washington, to enforce it. A good introduction, in keeping with the author's The Thanksgiving Story and The Columbus Story and, with its striking color spreads by Marie Nonnast, an attractively presented book. Sturdily bound with firm side stitching.
