This is an American History Book for young adults. Nearly 100 authentic historical photographs are included. Anthony, a twelve-year-old boy, travels into the past by stepping through the Picture Frame on his bedroom wall. Anthony walks on the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, plays baseball with Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, and crosses the Atlantic Ocean with Charles Lindbergh. He sees brave soldiers storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, and watches battle-weary Marines raise the American flag on Iwo Jima. He speaks with survivors of the Holocaust. He works in Thomas Edisons laboratory and witnesses the invention of the phonograph, the light bulb, and the motion picture. He meets FDR and Doctor Jonas Salk, and watches them conquer polio and save future generations of children. He meets his great-grandfather at the turn of the 20th century, and journeys with him to America: Together, they walk through the doors to America on Ellis Island, experience the trenches of World War I, the roaring twenties, and the breadlines of the Great Depression. Anthony is with his great-grandfather the day he becomes an American. The book is historically accurate and contains hundreds of interesting background notes on the boy's story. The book also contains activity lists for readers and teachers: recommended books, movies, music, and places to visit - to enhance the learning experience of each chapter.
