[CHAPTER VIII]
FROM TEAMSTER TO MAJOR GENERAL
Read Brady's American Fights and Fighters, p. 84, for an account of General Morgan; also Chapter IV, "King's Mountain and the Cowpens," in Lodge's Story of the Revolution, Vol. II, p. 56.
[CHAPTER IX]
THE FINAL VICTORY
For a description of the battle at Yorktown, read Brady's American Fights and Fighters, p. 143, and Chapter VII in Lodge's Story of the Revolution, p. 165. Henry P. Johnston's The Yorktown Campaign is excellent for collateral reference.
[CHAPTER X]
THE CRISIS
Very little collateral reading should be allowed in reading this chapter on framing the Constitution. Sundry topics may be sparingly selected for reading from the index to Fiske's Critical Period of American History. Fiske's Civil Government in the United States may be utilized for reference.
Read Brooks's Century Book for Young Americans; Chapter II in Elson's Side Lights on American History (First Series, p. 24), on "The Framing of the Constitution"; and Chapter XII, p. 283, in Higginson's Larger History of the United States, on "The Birth of a Nation."
NOTE.—For the War of the Revolution no more interesting books can be read by pupils than Brooks's Century Book of the Revolution and Coffin's Boys of '76. Lossing's Field Book of the Revolution, in two large volumes, is interesting, and contains hundreds of illustrations.
[CHAPTER XI]
A DARING EXPLOIT
Read "Decatur and the Philadelphia," in Brady's American Fights and Fighters, p. 199, and "The Burning of the Philadelphia," in Roosevelt and Lodge's Hero Tales from American History, p. 103.
