Sinossi

In "All Taut; or, Rigging the Boat," Oliver Optic weaves an engaging narrative that serves as both a thrilling maritime adventure and an educational exploration of nautical principles. Utilizing vivid imagery and authentic dialogue, Optic skillfully depicts the challenges young sailors face while emphasizing themes of teamwork and perseverance. This work not only entertains but also serves as a window into the 19th-century American youth literature, reflecting the era's fascination with seafaring and the romantic ideal of independence on the open water. Oliver Optic, a prominent figure in children's literature during the late 1800s, drew upon his own experiences and love for the sea to create stories that inspire and inform young readers. His background in education and passion for travel enriched his storytelling, allowing him to convey complex concepts in an accessible manner. The author'Äôs works often foster a spirit of adventure and moral fortitude, echoing the Victorian ideals of perseverance and character development. I highly recommend "All Taut; or, Rigging the Boat" to readers of all ages, especially those captivated by nautical themes and the intricacies of boat rigging. This book not only offers an adventure-filled narrative but also serves as an excellent introduction to the joys and challenges of maritime life.

    The remarkable true-life story of one of the greatest pioneers - and women - in American history. Known as Stagecoach Mary, Mary Fields was born into slavery in the late 1800s in Tennessee. A tall, sturdy girl by the age of 14, Mary was ordered to work in the cotton fields performing heavy labor with boys and men. After the 13th amendment was proclaimed, ending slavery, Mary worked a variety of jobs including chambermaid on a steamboat and as a helping hand at a convent in Ohio and later at a missionary school in the dangerous Montana territory. She then became the second woman, and the first African American woman, to be hired as a U.S. Postal worker, earning her the name of Stagecoach Mary. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Mary's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her compelling story, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
