We all carry around pictures of Lincolnon our pennies and five-dollar bills. These are among countless images created by engravers and other artists who copied, by hand, portraits that Lincoln posed for in a photographer’s studio. This engaging and attractive book depicts the five most famous Lincoln photographs and their numerous reproductions, which appeared, often dramatically and even comically altered, everywhere from newspapers and magazines to flyers, postcards, and campaign buttons. George Sullivan tells the fascinating story behind each image, providing insight about the early photographic process as well as a unique perspective on the political career of our sixteenth president.

( No matter what you might think is the most exciting pa...)
No matter what you might think is the most exciting part of the game -- a dramatic catch, a punt returned sixty yards for a touchdown -- most people agree that the power of football is in the play-by-play running game. Agile, quick, but most of all powerful, football running backs have the onerous, and sometimes painful, task of moving the ball forward on the ground -- sometimes only inches, sometimes a few yards, and sometimes, with a little luck, they see daylight and scamper into the end zone. It is a rule of thumb that good teams establish the running game first, before they can begin to be confident that their passing game will succeed. And it is on the running back -- the workhorse of the team -- where that responsibility falls. As he did with quarterbacks in his acclaimed book Quarterbacks, George Sullivan here profiles eighteen of the greatest running backs of all time. From Jim Thorpe to Terrell Davis, each brief profile, accompanied by dramatic full color and black-and-white photographs, brings that star to life and leaves no doubt as to why he was considered great. Whether he had slippery moves that allowed him to avoid tackles or brute force that powered him through the line, the ultimate fact is that he got the job done.

( One theme repeatedly crops up in the life and career of...)
One theme repeatedly crops up in the life and career of Berenice Abbott: her refusal to be defined by other people’s expectations. Spurning traditional roles for women of her era, she lived a bohemian life among other artists in New York’s Greenwich Village and Paris, and embarked upon a career in what was then a male-dominated field. Decades later, her photographs are celebrated as some of the most authentic images of a city ever captured on film, and she is remembered not only as a master American photographer but also as a teacher, writer, inventor, and photographic archivist. Veteran nonfiction writer George Sullivan draws on his vast knowledge of the photographic world to chronicle Berenice Abbott’s life and career, and to present a fascinating social portrait of the artistic community of New York in the early half of the 20th century. Interviews with her contemporaries and high- quality reproductions of some of her most famous photographs provide an illuminating image of this determined, spirited woman who changed the face of American photography.

This unique biography of Harriet Tubman uses interviewswith Tubman, as well as writings from her contempories, to tell the story of her life. "There was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would have the other, for no man should take me alive." Born into slavery on a southern plantation, Harriet Tubman dreamed of the Promised Land to the north. After escaping slavery herself, she repeatedly returned to the South to lead more than 300 other slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, Tubman served as a Union spy. Later in life, she established a home for the sick and needy in Auburn, NY. Tubman's faith and determination guided her throughout her long and eventful life.

The stories of America's most magnificent canals, highways, dams, bridges, and skyscrapers. Americans didn't let mountains stand in the way of trade with the American West--they tunneled right through them to make the Cascade Tunnel and Hoosac Tunnel. When water and power were needed, they built huge dams, such as the Fort Peck Dam and the Hoover Dam. Faced with water to cross, they built beautiful bridges, such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. And the American character is best reflected by the building it invented, the skyscraper. BUILT TO LAST profiles 17 architectural and engineering marvels, from the Erie Canal to Boston's Big Dig.

(Knockout! is a quintessential American storya humble but...)
Knockout! is a quintessential American storya humble but hardworking man overcomes poverty and prejudice to become world championand an inspiration to millions around the world. George Sullivan’s photobiography tells the powerful story of boxer Joe Louis with evocative period photography and a stirring narrative. This profile of one of America’s favorite sportsmen offers boys a perfect choice for biography assignments and is a stunning addition to the award-winning Photobiographies series. Joe Louis was the first African-American to achieve a position of national prominence in 20th century America. His success and his dignified public persona as champion were a source of great pride to African-Americans, whose heroes were rarely accorded recognition or respect. Knockout! sets the story of The Brown Bomber’s rise to fame against the background of his time. Blacks were not permitted to play major league baseball or football, and as the nation struggled through the depression in the 1930s and World War II in the 1940s, Louis became a symbol of hope to all facing hardship. Louis’s series of fights against Max Schmeling of Germany became the defining acts of his career. The reluctant Schmeling was promoted by Hitler’s regime as the symbol of Aryan supremacy, but Louis’s stunning victory in 1938 punctured the Nazi propaganda. Louis’s sensational first-round TKO win at Yankee Stadium also established the Alabama fighter as one of the most popular figures for Americans of all races.
