Teddy Bears Teach about the Civil War
New Blog Coming Soon
PAPA WAS A BOY IN GRAY
Prize-Winning Author
Mary W. Schaller
& Robert E. Tour the Country in 2001
& Robert E. Tour the Country in 2001
(Although the tour is over, the reports are timeless.)
Summer Tour: Four teddy bears (Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln, and Sacagawea) accompanied Mary W. Schaller on her 2001 book tour for Papa Was A Boy In Gray. The bears (with a little help from the author) wrote reports, highlights, stories, and posed for photos of all the Summer Excitement. Now you can read these reports in the upcoming blogs.
Book Summary: In the closing years of the twentieth century, a small group of women gave new meaning to the words "living history." Some were merely old; others were spectacularly ancient. All of them shared a unique position in America's history. These ladies were the surviving daughters of the men who fought for the Confederacy between 1861-1865. Their fathers left their indelible imprints upon their daughters, whose living legacy now casts a beam of light upon the vastly different world when Papa Was A Boy In Gray.

Excitement is in the air as my first blog takes off and is posted for all to see.
Many topics will come up in the future and will center around having fun learning history (yes, that boring subject for many of you).
Hopefully as you continue to visit my blog, you too will be having fun with history.
