Publisher's Description of Diary of Charlotte Forten: A Free Black Girl Before the Civil War (First Person Histories)
As a free African American living in the North in the 1800s, Charlotte Forten was luckier than most African Americans of her time. But she still faced segregation, limited opportunities, and the sharp barbs of racism. Through it all, Charlotte wrote down her experiences in a diary. Read her story, and learn about the pre Civil War days from someone who lived it.
Learn about significant events and times in US history through firsthand accounts told through diary entries of children who lived during the era. This collection would be a marvelous supplemental add on to an early American history curriculum. Because these books regularly feature the actual words or diary entries of period writers, there are occasional interesting misspellings, most with pronunciations included that help to paint the flavor of the era and create a feeling of genuineness to the author. Photos, vocabulary words, a glossary, timelines, and questions for critical thinking are options included in these interesting books. The pictures are colorful and representative of the era. ~Judy
