This review is from: James Madison (Revolutionary War Leaders) (Paperback)
This brief biography of the third President of the United States is well-written and very informative for young people. The book looks at Madison's childhood, his formative years at college, his primary involvement as writer of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, his years as President including the War of 1812, and his last years of retirement at Montpelier, his Virginia plantation. The author does a good job of presenting Madison's friendships with Joseph Ross, Edmund Randolph, and Thomas Jefferson. There are also a good number of sidebars with interesting facts around subjects touched up on in the text. There are plenty of illustrations and photos to keep young learners' interested. Included at the back of the book are a glossary (individual terms have been bolded in the chapters), a chronology of Madison's life, a brief time line of the Revolutionary War, a bibliography for further reading, and an index. This is indeed a good book that will offer information on Madison's life and influence to all readers.
