Now he is finally using all that material to write history books that kids will actually want to read. He has also written
Which Way to the Wild West?,
which relates the breathtaking adventure of America's westward expansion, and
Two Miserable Presidents,
the amazing and terrible tale of the Civil War. Steve lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and daughter.
