Big Bad Ironclad by Nathan Hale (Nonfiction Graphic Novel)
Big Bad Ironclad By Nathan Hale
Many of us know a lot about the Civil War, or at least some of the battles that were fought, some of the main players, and what it was about. But how many of us know names like Will Cushing, John Ericsson, Gideon Welles (A.K.A. Father Neptune) or Gustavus Fox? If you are like me, I didn't... until I read this book. The war was also on the seas!
Recommended for grades 7 and up.
