    What types of history books are you reading for family time that would emcompass all ages? I’m looking for recommendations for post Civil War-current specifically; I think that is the point at which I can bring everyone together for a group history time. Right now we have children spread all over the time line but do not want to just stop what they are doing because it is valuable.

    Thank you,

    Cindy

    The Sower series (Christian) biographies might work well for that purpose. I put together a list of the ones I could find at Christian Book Distributors and their corresponding dates for my own use. I’ll paste it below in case it might help. Looks like you could start in around David Livingstone and following.

    • Christopher Columbus 1451-1506

    • Johannes Kepler 1571-1630

    • Robert Boyle 1627-1691

    • Isaac Newton 1642-1727

    • Susanna Wesley 1669-1742

    • George Frideric Handel 1685-1759

    • George Washington 1732-1799

    • Abigail Adams 1744-1818

    • Noah Webster 1758-1843

    • Johnny Appleseed 1774-1845

    • Francis Scott Key 1779-1843

    • Daniel Webster 1782-1852

    • Samuel F. B. Morse 1791-1872

    • Robert E. Lee 1807-1870

    • Samuel Francis Smith 1808-1895

    • Abraham Lincoln 1809-1865
