Includes a map and an epilogue on the rest of her life.
Noah Webster’s American Dictionary played an influential role in the development of a common language in the United States. The author does an excellent job telling the story of Noah Webster and why he decided to develop the American Dictionary. Author’s Note, Bibliography, Timeline.
64 page biography of Noah Webster. Fairly uninteresting black and white illustrations. This is at least partly due to the subject matter, Noah Webster wrote spellers and dictionaries, he didn't have cool apparatus, like Benjamin Franklin.

Still, definitely worth the read if you know as little about Noah Webster as I do.… (plus d'informations)
