    I just read Sam Patch a few months back. A wonderful book that uses a very colorful individual to look at the industrialization and religious awakening of the 1820s and 1830s. Really accessible for kids. I’ll be using it in my upcoming classes.

      I liked Sam Patch as well. He is still remembered in Western NY.

        I really enjoyed it. Even with the limited information available about Patch I still found myself empathizing with him, which is a testament to the author’s skill.
