Meet our ninth US president before his famous victory over the native chief Tecumseh in the Battle of Tippecanoe. Young readers will thrill to “Billy” Harrison’s dramatic rescue of his sister, Sally, as she struggles to stay afloat after falling into a river, and admire his courage when he captures a British soldier at the age of eight. Find out more about these and the rest of Billy’s boyhood adventures.

Praised by parents, teachers, and historians, the Young Patriots Series is an ideal way to sweep today’s young readers into history. The everyday details of family life, the time period in which they lived, what they wore, and the challenges they faced in school create a window through which children can access history. The evidence of character, ability, responsibility, and courage are showcased in situations to which every child can relate.

Howard Peckham (1910–1995) was a professor emeritus of history at the University of Michigan. Aside from writing several books for both children and adults, he was also a founder and early editor of American Heritage.

Patrick Lawlor is an award-winning audiobook narrator based in Milwaukee, WI. Lawlor has been an Audie Award finalist multiple times, and has received several AudioFile Earphones Awards. He has won a Publishers Weekly Listen-Up Award, a number of Library Journal and Kirkus starred audio reviews, and numerous Editors' Picks, Top 10, and Year's Best lists. He has recorded over three hundred audiobooks in almost every genre. In his spare time, Lawlor is a marathon runner.
