Organized in chronological order, this is a brief introduction to 13 famous people in American history, and famous quotations uttered by each along the theme of courage.  Each beautifully illustrated two-page spread is dedicated to a different individual, beginning with their name, one of their famous quotes, and the date it was given; then it gives one paragraph of introduction giving the context for when and where the quotation comes from.  Two more pages in the back give extra blurbs on all the individuals, providing further background.  It’s a good introduction to spur student interest, but there’s not enough meat to make it an R*. One question left unanswered in both information paragraphs is why Rosa Parks’s quote came from 1990.
