Set against the backdrop of post-Civil War America, this work serves as an early example of juvenile literature that seeks to instill national pride and a sense of identity through the stories of historical icons, cleverly intertwining both fact and fiction to educate while entertaining. Edward Eggleston, a prominent historian and author of the 19th century, was deeply invested in the American historical narrative and its educational implications. His own experiences growing up in Indiana during a transformative period in American history undoubtedly shaped his vision of crafting a series that could inspire and inform the nation's youth.

This enchanting collection is highly recommended for educators, parents, and young readers alike, offering an engaging introduction to America's rich history. Through Eggleston's masterful storytelling, children will not only learn about great figures like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln but also develop a lasting appreciation for the values of courage, integrity, and perseverance that these figures embody.
