Beginning with Ponce de Leon and ending with Washington and Jefferson, this narrative history for young people covers three centuries of the most interesting and dramatic period in our history. In addition to the fascinating narrative, pen and ink drawings by James Daugherty have captured the spirit of adventure and robust living that characterized these eventful years.
