Brief description:

Tim Robinson illustrated Two Miserable Presidents, Which Way to the Wild West and King George: What Was His Problem? from Roaring Brook Press.

Review Quotes: "Chatty and accessible, this book does double duty: it introduces Civil War history for readers who don't know much about it and supplies browsable commentary for those familiar with the big picture. . . . Beginning with a look at the role cotton played in the history, his fast-paced narrative is broken into short, tersely titled vignettes. . . . The horrors of slavery and battlefield slaughter are clear, as are achievements of Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, John Brown, and many more." --Booklist
