Exciting New Children's Book On The Way

[L Verge]

I am happy to report that the first batch of Mike's graphic novel, With Malice Toward One, is now available at the Surratt House gift shop. It retails for $12 plus $3 postage (cheaper than Amazon!).

I will also be sending a complimentary copy to the supervisor of social studies for our local school system with a gentle nudge that each school should have at least one in their library - if not the classroom.

Surratt House was pleased to learn two weeks ago that our school programs on the Lincoln assassination and the Surratt family are being incorporated into the Core Curriculum program and will include variations of our mock trial with writing assignments related to proving guilt or innocence. As part of the national Teaching American History grant that the schools received several years ago, they will also be incorporating James Swanson's children's version of Bloody Crimes into their reading program within the next year.

We have our toe in the door to getting our story into classrooms and will keep on pushing.
