Books by Alvin Robert Cunningham

Alvin Robert Cunningham is a retired educator of 34 years. He taught American History at
Henry High School in Henry, Illinois and Social Studies in the Ottawa Elementary Schools
in Ottawa, Illinois. About ten years before retirement, Cunningham started pursing his
dream of becoming a children\'s book author. After many rejections and much perserverance,
he managed to secure some royaltiy contracts for his work with some smaller publishers.

Now, Cunningham is currently writing historical fiction/nonfiction, student-edition books
for reading programs for educational publishers that are marketed to schools throughout
the United States. They are also sold to online bookstores and shopping centers. With his
books, Cunningham feels that children are able to identify with the young,, main characters
and learn about important events in American history at the same time.
