HIGGINSON, T.W. (p. 174)
Young Folks' History of the United States.
Longmans. 1.00
There are many histories of our country to choose from, but none is
more satisfactory for young people than this, with its choice language
and interesting style. It contains maps and numerous illustrations.
It will be noticed that less space than usual is given, in these
pages, to the events of war, and more to the affairs of peace.
This course has been deliberately pursued.... Times of peace, the
proverb says, have few historians; but this may be more the fault
of the historians than of the times.--_Preface._
KIEFFER, H.M.
The Recollections of a Drummer-Boy.
Houghton. 1.50
The author was drummer-boy during the Civil War in the 150th
regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers, and he tells his own
experiences in camp and on the battlefield from the time of his
enlistment to the "muster-out."
CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH.
LANIER, SIDNEY (Editor).
The Boy's Froissart.
Scribner. 2.00
These tales, which retain to a considerable extent the archaic style
of the original, will interest only the exceptional boy or girl.
