Thomas A. Edison
Thomas Alva Edison is the typical American. From boyhood to ripest manhood he has been keen to see an opportunity, and quick to turn that opportunity to a practical use. His genius is peculiar because it is so American.
By Alice C. Sutcliffe
Robert Fulton
The life of Robert Fulton makes good reading. The story of his belief in and work upon a submarine and his journeys to France and England to lay his plans before the British Government—his steamboat, and the years of study and labor which went toward perfecting it—his paintings—his travels in foreign lands in days when American travellers were few—combine to make one of the most interesting and inspiring books of the series.
By Bradley Gilman
Robert E. Lee
Robert E. Lee ranks with the greatest of all English-speaking military leaders. Bradley Gilman has told the story of his life so as to reveal the greatness and true personality of a man "who has left an enduring memory of the highest idealism."
By William C. Sprague
Davy Crockett
No fictitious tale of perils and adventures could surpass the true story of Davy Crockett, pioneer. His life and adventures are closely bound up with the greatest events of American history.
