*Mott Media's "The Sowers Series", with titles such as:
Francis Scott Key; Samuel Francis Smith; Daniel Webster; Abraham Lincoln; Samuel Morse, and more.
(These books are written on a child's level; however, with so few books available detailing the godliness and Christianity of famous American men and women, and public libraries systematically sweeping all such biographies and other books from the shelves, [ostensibly, because of the mythical 'separation of church and state'], we would recommend them even for an adult for a short bedtime read. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend where to find them; we were lucky enough to find them in the library of one of our local churches.)
Note: 2/08/06 We have found a Mott Media Website, which we couldn't find before!
