“THE STORY GRIPS AND THE HISTORY STICKS”
These books present in the form of vivid and fascinating fiction, the early and adventurous phases of American history. Each volume deals with the life and adventures of one of the great men who made that history, or with some one great event in which, perhaps, several heroic characters were involved. The stories, though based upon accurate historical fact, are rich in color, full of dramatic action, and appeal to the imagination of the red-blooded man or boy.
Each volume illustrated in color and black and white.

SEVENTH IMPRESSION
TO THE
AMERICAN SPIRIT OF FREEDOM
AND ITS STARS
in the American Flag
When Freedom from her mountain-height
Unfurled her standard to the air.
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
