Profiles of Integrity Vol. 1: 1775 - 1781

What is decisiveness? How does someone show discretion? What does it mean to be flexible or available? When it comes to understanding and developing character traits, biographical stories are a powerful tool.

Powerful not only because they so effectively illustrate virtues but also because your young reader doesn't feel preached at.

These 10 stories are engrossing!

• Instead of being told, “You should express enthusiasm,” They will read about Pastor John Muhlenberg who influenced hundreds of men to fight in one of the first Virginia militias of the war. • Instead of hearing that attentiveness is an attractive virtue, they get consumed with the story of Lydia Darragh who prevented a British victory by carefully listening to British plans and relaying that information to George Washington. • Instead of being admonished be more generous, they see how Robert Morris used his financial assets to fund his country during a critical period.

Packed with adventure, danger, and real historical drama, these books keep your students turning pages as they devour tales of kidnappings, daring escapes, battles, and moments of courage.
