Amazing Americans Sample Pages

Despite the prejudice of his time, Benjamin Banneker was unwilling to let his race or his age stop his thirst for knowledge. Benjamin studied astronomy and predicted solar and lunar eclipses. He used this information to produce six almanacs. He also helped to survey the land for our nation's capitol. Benjamin's work in mathematics and surveying make him the first great African American scientist.

This engaging new series of leveled biographies brings history to life one dramatic story at a time.

By focusing on poignant moments as well as public triumphs, Amazing Americans makes paragons of American history feel accessible and real.
