What is the Seven Day Scholar?
The Seven-Day Scholar is a reader-friendly way to learn history. It takes what is often daunting–the entire Civil War in the first volume of the series, for example–and breaks it into shorter, easy-to-digest, one-page stories. Read seven related stories, which make up each chapter, and you're a "Seven-Day Scholar" in that week's topic (e.g. Gettysburg, the Election of 1860, etc.). The book has 52 chapters that take you through the war from beginning to end.
