Interesting History Reader
Nicely done! But it should be made clear to the reader whether this is wholly history or mostly historical fiction.

nice book
This a very nice book. But I wanted to put in that while it does contain stories from: Boys and Girls of Colonial Days by Carolyn Sherwin, it does not contain 3 of them. They are: Betsey's Guest,The Boy Who Guarded Washington, and Visiting at Mount Vernon. I was bummed to find them missing since I am doing BF Character Through Literature Primary this year. Still a great book though- just a heads up to any interested!
