HISTORICAL STORIES FOR BOYS
THE EVE OF WAR
By W. Bert Foster. Illustrated by F. A. Carter. A story of the critical days just before the Civil War, when every hour made history. Joe Ransom learns of the plan to assassinate President Lincoln on the way to his inauguration, and is sent by the United States Government officials to warn the President-elect. His mission is accomplished, and largely as a result of his services the plot comes to naught. Historical facts are closely followed, but this nowhere interferes with the interest in the story.
WITH ETHAN ALLEN AT TICONDEROGA
By W. Bert Foster. Illustrated by F. A. Carter. A vivid picture of the struggles of those heroic New Englanders, the Green Mountain Boys, against the Tory residents. That dramatic character in revolutionary history, Ethan Allen, with whom the young hero is continually in touch, is the central figure of the narrative, and the incidents which lead up to the capture of Fort Ticonderoga are told in a wonderfully interesting manner.
WITH WASHINGTON AT VALLEY FORGE
By W. Bert Foster. Illustrated by F. A. Carter. The hero, a boy of sixteen, is an enthusiastic patriot. He soon enlists his services with his country, and performs many heroic deeds in the capacity of a courier in the battles of Brandywine, Monmouth, and at the Paoli massacre. He renders great service to our forces at Valley Forge, and participates in the hardships which the struggling American army endured during that memorable winter.
