Monumental Americans Set of 4 by Frank Keating

Abraham

Born into humble beginnings in a Kentucky cabin, Abraham Lincoln seemed an unlikely person to one day lead a divided country at war in a time of struggle.

As a boy, Abraham saw study and books as a path to the future, He worked hard and followed his heart and the values he was taught, and became the president who united a country and made its people free.

Hamilton

A poor orphan immigrant who grew up in the West Indies, he came to America at age seventeen and remarkably became one of America's most important founding fathers.

At George Washington's side he led our country through the Revolutionary War, and went on to become the first Secretary of the Treasury and to create the banking system still used today. Later he helped to write the Federalist Papers, supporting the creation of the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton transformed the world. This is his incredible story.

George

The fifth of ten children, George Washington was a dreamer, a hard worker, an athlete, and a peacemaker. By the time he was fifteen, he had handwritten for himself the "Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation." These were his rules to live by. He could not have known what his future held: that he would play an important role in founding a new country and become the first leader of the United States of America.

Theodore

His name is Theodore, but he is remembered as Teddy. As a young boy, he was a dreamer and a reader and had a curiosity about life he could never satisfy. As the youngest man ever to be president, he led a nation to greatness and he made every day count.
