American Heroes: Joshua Chamberlain and the American Civil War

Kennedy, Robert Francis. American Heroes: Joshua Chamberlain and the American Civil War. New York: Hyperion Books for Children, 2007. ISBN: 978-142310771-2.



This book is the introduction of war to Joshua Chamberlain. Joshua has always been an abolishonist of slavery and when he hears that the South has suceeded from the Union, Joshua strongly joins the civil war. With no military background he becomes a general and has troops of his own. Read to see how great determination led Joshua Chamberlain into success in the Civil War. This book shows how Joshua Chamberlain went from an ordinary man into a civil war hero. If you want to read about a war hero in action that uses his mind to trick the enemy, this would be a good book for you. Age range 4th -5th grade.
