The Publisher says of this book and series: "The Young Patriots Series" books are not biographies per se, but rather introductions to biography," explains the publisher. "We call the books 'storyographies' because each is primarily the story of episodes from the individual's childhood. Every incident mentioned in the book is true to the character and time of the subject."
The Atlanta Journal & Constitution says: "[A] top-notch biography."
