Richard P.
Grossenheider: The Artist by Thomas L. Campbell and Katherine Hattieann
Manning is an easy reader biography of a fascinating artist in American
history. The book contains a treasure trove of primary documents including
photographs, facsimiles of letters, newspaper clippings, and original drawings.
Like many traditional biographies, the narration begins with the context of
Grossenheider’s family and the story of how his grandfather came to America in
the early 1800s. The authors then trace his story through his father, who was a
distinguished artisan, and through Richard’s childhood and studies in biology
in college, which led to his career as a naturalist and artist. The simple text
is appropriate for young readers, and the book would make an interesting book
report for students assigned a biography.
