Sobre IBD

Self Portraits is a compilation of true accounts from twenty people who lived unforgettable lives. From the days of Colonial America to the sinking of the Titanic and concluding at the bloody battlefields of World War I in Europe, narratives written by eyewitnesses to history bring back to life a time long gone but of which still lingers in the present. The lives of noted historical figures such as Edward Winslow, William Bradford, Daniel Boone, George Washington, Tobias Lear, Abraham Lincoln, Chief Joseph, Harold Bride, and Kate Evelyn Luard as well as little-known individuals such as John Knight, John Slover, Henry Whiteley, Martha Morgan, James Akin Jr., Frances Sawyer, James Richey, Nancy Hunt, Frederick Walker, and the McCurdy Brothers weave together a rich tapestry connecting many events in world history into a spellbinding narrative of which changed history. Edited and with additional biographical material not published previously.
