History retold for children, with lots of anecdotes. According to Wikipedia: "Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 ?1864) was an American novelist and short story writer... Much of Hawthorne's writing centers around New England and many feature moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend Franklin Pierce."

Walden, or Life in the Woods ; On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
Disdainful of America's growing commercialism and industrialism, Henry David Thoreau left Concord, Massachusetts, in 1845 to live in solitude in the woods by Walden Pond. Walden: is the classic account of his stay there, conveys at once a naturalist's wonder at the commonplace and a Transcendentalist's yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance. Civil disobedience: is an analysis of the individuals relationship to the state that focuses on why men obey governmental law even when they believe it to be unjust, expressing his antislavery and antiwar sentiments.
