The Tale of George Atzerodt

[LincolnMan]

I agree with your post Laurie. Your grandson sounds like a sharp young man. You mention he was 10 years old when he started learned about the Lincoln assassination story. Actually, in my mind I was thinking age 10 as a starting point for such a subject. I think pre-age 10 might be too young. You make a very valid point about what the kids are exposed to nowadays. Still, my gut is uncomfortable with the subject being targeted for kids. It may be just me. I find it hard to imagine a book like that being a reading that would be offered in a fourth or fifth grade class.
