The defense of Fort Sullivan is well described in Brady's _American Fights and Fighters_, p. 5, and Lodge's _Story of the Revolution_, Vol. I, p. 126. CHAPTER IV, PAGE 50 THE PATRIOT SPY Perhaps the most readable account of Nathan Hale is to be found in Lossing's _Two Spies_ (Andre and Hale). Consult Partridge's _Nathan Hale_, a character study. In connection with this story, Chapter XVII, "The Story of Arnold's Treason," in Blaisdell's _Story of American History_ may be profitably read. CHAPTER V, PAGE 62 OUR GREATEST PATRIOT For the everyday life of Washington, consult Paul Leicester Ford's _The True George Washington_. Refer to sundry sections in Bolton's _The Private Soldier under Washington_ and in Herbert's _Washington: His Homes and his Households_. Read the stirring romance about Washington, _A Virginia Cavalier_, by Molly Elliot Seawell. CHAPTER VI, PAGE 77 A MIDNIGHT SURPRISE For the capture of Stony Point, read Lodge's _Story of the Revolution_, Vol. II, p. 130; Brady's _American Fights and Fighters_, p. 121; and Roosevelt and Lodge's _Hero Tales from American History_, p. 79. Henry P. Johnston's _The Storming of Stony Point_ is perhaps the best account ever written of this famous exploit. CHAPTER VII, PAGE 90 THE DEFEAT OF THE RED DRAGOONS Read Roosevelt and Lodge's _Hero Tales from American History_, p. 69, and Lodge's _Story of the Revolution_, p. 56. In connection with Chapters VII and VIII, read "The War of the Revolution in the South," in Blaisdell's _Story of American History_, Chapter XVI, p, 250. CHAPTER VIII, PAGE 105 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, PAGE 123 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, PAGE 138 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." * * * * * *
