Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
The purpose of this book "is to tell in simple fashion the story of some Americans who showed that they knew how to live and how to die; who proved their truth by their endeavor; and who joined to the stern and manly qualities which are essential to the well-being of a masterful race the virtues of gentleness, of patriotism, and of lofty adherence to an ideal."

Critiques
Abigail Mauldin
This book doesn't seem to provide reliable information and contains a lot of racist interpretations of history. It's not suitable for children and not written at an adult level.
Great stories of American by heroes.
Marcus
Well worth the read.
