The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!

Each of the seven storybooks brought together in this volume is an adventure in America's past. The heroes are the boys and girls of every national background who played and worked and went to school as the wars were fought and the West was won and America grew to maturity. Through their stories is told the country's story, in a sweep through time and space, moving from east to west, from the foundings in 1620 to our own turbulent midcentury.
Here in this anthology are some of Elizabeth Coatsworth's most beloved stories. In them, through the excite- ment of true events and the depth of characterization for which she is known, Miss Coatsworth makes history real, bringing enjoyment and enrichment to young readers.
