“THE STORY GRIPS AND THE HISTORY STICKS”
These books present in the form of vivid and fascinating fiction, the early and adventurous phases of American history. Each volume deals with the life and adventures of one of the great men who made that history, or with some one great event in which, perhaps, several heroic characters were involved. The stories, though based upon accurate historical fact, are rich in color, full of dramatic action, and appeal to the imagination of the red-blooded man or boy.
Each volume illustrated in color and black and white.

WHO FROM THE DAYS OF THE “RAW PROVINCIALS” TO THE DAYS OF THE KHAKI “YANKS” HAS EMULATED THE SPIRIT OF YOUNG GEORGE WASHINGTON IN THE SERVICE OF HIS COUNTRY
“I shall have the consolation of knowing that I have opened the way, when the smallness of our numbers exposed us to the attacks of a superior enemy; that I have hitherto stood the heat and brunt of the day, and escaped untouched in time of extreme danger; and that I have the thanks of my country, for the services I have rendered it.”
Colonel George Washington,
November 15, 1754
