I Cannot Tell a Lie
THE FIRST PRESIDENT Documented national history states that the nation's first president had no children. But the oral history of the descendants of this African American family tells a different story. THE CONTROVERSY Many people will believe the story of George Washington fathering a slave son. Others will find it difficult, if not impossible, to believe that Washington had an intimate relationship with a slave named Venus. Their fateful union during the era of antebellum slavery produced a son, West Ford. THE SECRET As time and space distanced the Ford family from its beginnings at Mount Vernon, each generation continued to walk a precarious line, bearing the weight of their heritage and battling issues of skin color, status, and identity. Linda Allen Bryant, a descendant of West Ford, pens her family's narrative history in I Cannot Tell a Lie. Their genealogy is rich in adventure, love, tragedy, sacrifice and courage-a story that will haunt you long after you turn the last page.
The Adventures of Delaware Bear and Young George Washington
The Adventures of Delaware Bear and Young George Washington and The Adventures of Delaware Bear and Young Abraham Lincoln are the first two stories to be published in a series of "Delaware Bear" adventures. Delaware is a handmade, huggable stuffed bear who gets passed down from family to family, child to child, and often ends up in the hands of young boys who will grow up to become president of the United States. With the perfect blend of history and fiction, the wise and lovable Delaware will bring famous Americans to life for the preschool/early reader audience, while encouraging the virtues and characteristics that lead to great accomplishments. The goal is to awaken in children a love of history and an understanding that they, also, can grow up to make their own personal mark on history. Discussion questions are included, for those who wish to dig a little deeper into the story content and/or the historical setting.
