This biography of Noah Webster goes beyond the story of his creating America's definitive dictionaries, spelling books and text books. It details his involvement in abolition, universal education (for girls and slaves), U.S. Constitution formation--even sanitation reform in the major cities suffering from yellow fever. Yes, thank Noah for urban sewer systems!

Won an NCTE Orbis Pictus Honor book (one of only six titles chosen as the top nonfiction of 2010). Junior Library Guild selection, winner of the Connecticut Book Award. Kudos from the President of Merriam-Webster, curator of the Noah Webster House and Museum, and children's librarian at the Noah Webster Public Library in West Hartford.
