Brian's School Project: A Story About the Underground Railroad By: Carol Baker One night, after a very long, rainy day, Brian asks his parents about the history of the Underground Railroad and their town’s involvement. His mom, having researched this topic in the past, begins to hand down a lot of new information for Brian to absorb, while his dad starts talking to the Historical Society and takes Brian for a short visit to their museum. When Brian returns to school, his teacher assigns him into a group with three other students to come up with a project all about the Underground Railroad. Using all the information they learned about secret codes, folklore, and routes, they decide to create a board game to represent the difficult journey the slaves traveled along, on their way to freedom. Filled with fascinating information on the Underground Railroad, told through the perspective of a curious young boy, Brian’s School Project: A Story About the Underground Railroad is an invaluable tool to provide a broader understanding of the struggles of slaves during this time and find a whole new appreciation for the folks who aided in their escape.

Book Description
Finalist, 2014 AEJMC Tankard Book Award Carol Sue Humphrey’s The American Revolution and the Pressargues that newspapers played an important role during America’s struggle for independence by keeping Americans engaged in the war even when the fighting occurred in distant locales. From the moment that the colonials received word of Britain’s new taxes in 1764 until reports of the peace treaty arrived in 1783, the press constituted the major source of information about events and developments in the conflict with the mother country. Both Benjamin Franklin, one of the Revolution’s greatest leaders, and Ambrose Serle, a Loyalist, described the press as an “engine” that should be used to advance the cause. The efforts of Patriot printers to keep readers informed about the war helped ensure ultimate success by boosting morale and rallying Americans to the cause until victory was achieved. As Humphrey illustrates, Revolutionary-era newspapers provided the political and ideological unity that helped Americans secure their independence and create a new nation.
