Subject: Fun read about early US Advrenturers
Subject: Fun read about early US Advrenturers
A collection of stories about early heros during the founding years of America. The heros are all "rovers", individuals seeking their fame and fortune in foreign lands, by organizing and leading mercenery armies or defending American interests by trying to restore foreign potentates, etc. The stories are easy to read and seem meant to inspire the youth of the early 1900s with the heroic and independant nature of our American forefathers. Includes Black and White illustrations.
