Meet Robert Skimin and Danny Drumm’s Heroes

Who is Robert Skimin? Taken from the Robert Skimin website, which we urge you to visit,  his own life has been an American adventure. He enlisted in the army at the age of 18, and then soon became the 4th youngest officer. He saw battle as a paratrooper, artillery officer, and even an army aviator. He became the first army pilot to wear the famed green beret. After this, he fought enough battle with alcoholism. He defeated this disease many years ago, and then went on to battle cancer. Meanwhile, Robert Skimin has developed a reputation as an author, illlustrator, and playwrite.

Ulyssees By Robert Skimin

All of his experiences led up to the novel  Ulysses. President Grant also battled the bottle. He finally passed away of cancer. Mr. Skimin’s own experiences with the military, alcoholism, and cancer helped him right a very realistic biographical novel that arrived on the scene to fantastic reviews.




Danny Drumm’s Heroes

This series of children’s books covers US history through the words of a civil war drummer boy named Danny Drumm.  The series starts out by introducing young readers to drummer boys. Then it traces our American history from the beginning up to the present time. It has already tested very well with elementary school children, though the rest of the family will enjoy it too!
