No fictitious tale of perils and adventures could surpass the true story of Davy Crockett, pioneer. His life and adventures are closely bound up with the greatest events of American history. Nathan Hale By Jean Christie Root There is hardly another story in the whole range of American history which contains so much of inspiration and splendid heroism as that of Nathan Hale. "There is more than the work of a gifted biographer here. There is a message."--_New York World._ U.S. Grant By F.E. Lovell Coombs There is but little fiction which can compare in interest with the true story of Ulysses S. Grant. Mr. Coombs has told it admirably. Abraham Lincoln By Daniel E. Wheeler Another view of the greatest product of American democracy. The inspiring story of the great war President told with spirit in a new way.
