There are two very interesting bears in this story. Like the earlier volumes of this series, “A Little Maid of Province Town,” “A Little Maid of Massachusetts Colony,” “A Little Maid of Narragansett Bay,” and “A Little Maid of Bunker Hill”—the present volume introduces the heroes of American history and tells of famous deeds and places of which all American children should know.
