THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS SERIES By LILLIAN ELIZABETH ROY |
|
Handsomely Bound. Colored Wrappers. Illustrated. For Children 6 to 12 Years |
| This series presents early American history in a manner that impresses the young readers. George and Martha Washington Parke, two young descendants of the famous General Washington, follow in play, the life of the great American. |
|
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS Their thrilling battles and expeditions generally end in "punishment" lessons read by Mrs. Parke from the "Life of Washington." The culprits listen intently, for this reading generally gives them new ideas for further games of Indian warfare and Colonists battles. |
|
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' RELATIVES The Davis children visit the Parke home and join zealously in the games of playing George Washington. So zealously, in fact, that little Jim almost loses his scalp. |
|
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' TRAVELS The children wage a fierce battle upon the roof of a hotel in New York City. Then, visiting the Davis home in Philadelphia, the patriotic Washingtons vanquish the Hessians on a battle-field in the empty lot back of the Davis property. |
| THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS AT SCHOOL After the school-house battle the Washingtons discover a band of gypsies camping near their homes and incidentally they recover a stolen horse which the gypsies had taken from a farmer. |
| THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' HOLIDAYS They spend a pleasant summer on adjoining farms in Vermont. During a voyage they try to capture a "frigate" but little Jim is caught and about to be punished by the Captain when his confederates save him. |
| THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS; FARMERS Nero, the donkey, had never heard of George Washington, and so the game the children had planned after reading the story of the General's life on his farm turned out to be quite a different game altogether. |
