About the Book

Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States. Though for awhile over-shadowed by the Soviet space program which beat America into space, first with Sputnik and then with the first man in space, Yuri Gargarin, it proved its worth by the end of its run in 1963. The program's astronauts, the Mercury Seven, established the image of the American astronaut for decades to come in the United States. They were almost legendary in the minds of the public, their success in space following them into business and even politics as America's first man into orbit, John Glenn, Jr., was elected to the U.S. Senate and served for 25 years. This book is targeted for children in school from Grades 3-7 to give them the basics of this historical program, how it started and ended, and then led to subsequent success in space, especially the Apollo Program. This background and each of the famous Mercury Seven astronauts are previewed in both text and images.

About the Author :
Annie Laura Smith is the author of numerous stories, articles, curriculum materials, and book reviews. Her middle-grade historical novel, The Legacy of Bletchley Park, was the first of her historical novels about World War II. Will Paris Burn?, Saving da Vinci, and Alexandra's Secret completed this historical series. Twilight of Honor moves forward in history and genre, providing a touching romance perspective to the war in Vietnam and its aftermath. She is the author or compiler for several juvenile books such as The Mercury Project, Sally Ride, Werhner von Braun, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, and Alan Shepard. Dale "Steve" Gierhart is a retired business manager for the United States Army. Based in Huntsville, Alabama on Redstone Arsenal, his career lasted from 1975 to 2010 in which he managed contracts, finances/accounting, and cost estimating for several missile defense systems, among which were Stinger, Avenger, Chaparral, Sentinel, JLENS, SLAMRAAM, and Non-Line of Sight. He hails from Shawnee, Oklahoma; but most of his adult life has been spent in the beautiful hills of North Alabama where he lives with his wife, Bonny, who raises Tennessee Walking Horses. Between them, Steve and Bonny have 5 children and 9 grandchildren. Steve enjoys writing, including two novels, Shadow of the Conjurer and A Palace of Strangers (collaboration with James Frost), as well as numerous articles in Old Huntsville Magazine, and the Valley Planet. He and Bonny, a retired engineer who worked as a contractor on several NASA and Army programs, will travel in their retirement though 10 horses, 4 dogs and 2 cats can crimp the best of plans.
