The true story of a Civil War hero in a stunning nonfiction picture book from historian and author Catherine Clinton and award-winning illustrator Shane W. Evans.
Hold the Flag High is the true story of William Carney, the first Black Medal of Honor winner and Civil War hero. As sergeant of the Massachusetts 54th, an all-Black regiment, he was one of only a few Black officers to serve during the Civil War. In the Battle of Fort Wagner, he risked life and limb to make sure that “Old Glory” never stopped waving.
This moving portrait of an important, but not well-known, African American hero is sure to inspire pride and admiration in all young patriots.
