An interesting collection of historical anecdotes sure to captivate the younger reader—stories of Indian life, frontier peril and escape, of adventures with the pirates and kidnappers of Colonial times, of daring Revolutionary feats, of dangerous whaling voyages, and of the scientific exploration of our continent. With them are intermingled sketches of the homes, the food and drink, the birds and animals, the schools, and the children’s plays of olden times.
