American Heroes by Marfe Ferguson Delano
American Heroes is an anthology of 50 biographical portraits of key American figures--people whose heroism has in some way shaped American society. This group of great Americans was not famous or successful merely by the standards of their own time. Something about their achievements, whether familiar or not, transcends their time to make their greatness resonate throughout history. These American heroes, either as household names or through contributions that we recognize even though the contributors are not as well known, have become woven into the fabric of American history. Their achievements are diverse, but we recognize their spirit as uniquely American.MARFÉ FERGUSON DELANO is the author of 16 National Geographic books, including Genius: A Photobiography of Albert Einstein, which received an Orbis Pictus Honor Book, and Inventing the Future: A Photobiography of Thomas Alva Edison, which received an Orbis Pictus Honor Book. Helen's Eyes: a Photobiography of Annie Sullivan, Master George's People, Explore My World: Butterflies, Explore My World: Frogs, and Welcome to the World are some of her most recent National Geographic titles. Delano is a Duke University graduate.
