- B is for Battle Cry: A Civil War Alphabet takes readers on a journeyinto one of the most important chapters of our nation's past.The Civil War was one of the bloodiest, most divisive events to takeplace in America's history, and most certainly ever on Americansoil. For four years our young country's sense of self and citizenrywas shaken to the core as North and South battled each other.B is for Battle Cry brings to life historic battles (Antietam andGettysburg), renowned leaders (Abraham Lincoln and Robert E.Lee), inventions (ironclad ship and Gatling gun), and inspiringevents and documents (the Gettysburg Address and theEmancipation Proclamation).From the first shot fired at Fort Sumter to Lee's surrender atAppomattox Court House, B is for Battle Cry brings thisnation-defining time period to vivid life.Patricia Bauer believes that stories bring history alive. She uses poetry, music,picture books, costumes, and literature to engage her middle school students in thestudy of American history. B is for Battle Cry is Pat's first children's book. She livesin Minneapolis with her artist husband, David Geister.David Geister's deep appreciation for the drama of American history and the desireto tell those stories is what inspires his artwork. He is a popular visitor at schoolswith his costumed portrayals of historic characters. He lives in Minneapolis with hisauthor wife, Patricia Bauer. This is David's fifth book with Sleeping Bear.
