Amos Fortune was  the son of a chief of a native tribe. One day, whites came and captured Amos and some of his friends to be sold at a slave auction. Amos was sold to a man named Caleb. He worked for Caleb, and eventually they let him become a free man. Amos Fortune married 3 times. His first 2 wives died of an illness, and his 3rd wife lived a while after Amos died. Amos lived his life as a tanner. He gave a lot of his money to the church and the school right before he died. Amos died faithfully, in God's name.

Noah Webster was the writer of the American Dictionary of the English Language in 1828. While he was still a boy, he was like any other ordinary boy back then. He lived on a farm, had a  small house, and went to church. Unlike most boys though, he LOVED to read. I mean, he could read our house off it's foundation if he wanted to! Noah also wrote the Blue- Backed Speller. He had two sisters & three brothers.
