Mr. Lincoln's High-Tech War: How the North Used the Telegraph, Railroads, Surveillance Balloons, Iron Clads, High-powered Weapons and More to Win the Civil War
Harvey Potter is a very strange fellow indeed--it seems that, instead of growing corn or tomatoes, he grows balloons! No one knows exactly how he does it, but with the help of the light of a full moon, one friendly child catches a peek--and keeps some magic for herself! Full color.
Ariel would love to be in the basket of"" Lucky Star"" on the day of the big balloon race against Bernard the Brave. Her mother, Carlotta the Great, is the best lady balloonist in America. But Ariel's parents think she is too young. Little do they know she is asleep in the Odds and Ends box when Carlotta the Great orders ""Hands off!"" and the balloon race begins. The thrills of Ariel's first ride in a hydrogen balloon come to life in this story based on a real ballooning family of the late 1800's. Carolyn Croll's pictures capture the pageantry and drama of the race, and will have readers rooting to the end for Ariel and her mother.
