<p>Dust jacket notes: "Few stories are more exciting than that of Martin Luther, the great reformer of world history. At the risk of his life he cried out against the abuses within the Roman Catholic Church and led the way to the formation of the Protestant churches, changing tremendously the lives of nations and of individuals. Fond of learning, music, and fun Martin Luther's decision to become a monk startled his family. But it was his defiance of the pope that put his life in constant danger. He faced trial before deadly enemies. He was kidnaped and carried off to live in a lonely castle, disguised as a knight. He daily threatened with death by fire. Yet fearlessly and joyfully he pursued his high aims and lived a full, robust life besides. May McNeer's dramatic text and Lynd Ward's magnificent pictures, both based on sound research, combine to make a fascinating, important book."</p>

<p>The award-winning storyteller, May McNeer, brings her delightful style to the amazing, wonderful, and dramatic story of California. This is sure to be a favorite for children and adults alike who enjoy beautiful pictures and engaging text.\nReaders will learn all about the varied landscapes of California, the Spanish Missions, the fur trappers, Sutter's Fort, the many people from all over the world who now call California "home", the Gold Rush, the incredible city of San Francisco, the Transcontinental Railroad, and the various industries of California (grapes, fruit, water, oil, and logging), and about the city of Los Angeles.\nThis wonderful telling of California's history is made extraordinary by the pairing with a master lithographer–Cornelius DeWitt–who creates sweeping spreads on nearly every page. California’s stunning coastline, its agriculture, Missions, giant redwoods, Rancherias, and the wild days of the Gold Rush, are vividly and unforgettably brought to life in this lovely reissue of the original 1944 edition.</p>
