Historie

It is crucial for all Americans, and especially for the American youth, to remember and honor the men who have given their lives in war and peace to the service of their fellow-countrymen, and to keep in mind the feats of daring and personal prowess done in time past by some of the many champions of the nation in the various crises of her history. Thrift, industry, obedience to law, and intellectual cultivation are essential qualities in the makeup of any successful nation; but no nation can be really great unless it possesses also the heroic virtues which are as needful in time of peace as in time of war, and as important in civil as in military life. Contents: George Washington Daniel Boone and the Founding of Kentucky George Rogers Clark and the Conquest of the Northwest The Battle of Trenton Bennington King's Mountain The Storming of Stony Point Gouverneur Morris The Burning of the "Philadelphia" The Cruise of the "Wasp" The "General Armstrong" Privateer The Battle of New Orleans John Quincy Adams and the Right of Petition Francis Parkman "Remember the Alamo" Hampton Roads The Flag-bearer The Death of Stonewall Jackson The Charge at Gettysburg General Grant and the Vicksburg Campaign Robert Gould Shaw Charles Russell Lowell Sheridan at Cedar Creek Lieutenant Cushing and the Ram "Albemarle" Farragut at Mobile Bay Abraham Lincoln
