Eyewitness to History: Sets 1 - 3

History textbooks can give a cursory view of events and issues of a time period. First-hand accounts, however, add a sense of importance and perspective to historical experiences. This exceptional collection utilizes primary sources provided by famous figures who were not only witnesses to world-altering events but also made significant contributions of their own to history. Cesar Chavez, Helen Keller, Frederick Douglass, Anne Frank, Neil Armstrong, and Leonardo da Vinci are just some of the individuals of varied backgrounds and interests who are spotlighted in these well-designed and carefully researched volumes.
