S AND SUPPLEMENTARY READING TO BE USED WITH "HERO
STORIES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY"
CHAPTER I, PAGE 1
THE HERO OF VINCENNES
For two short articles on George Rogers Clark, read Roosevelt and
Lodge's _Hero Tales from American History_, p. 29, and Brady's
_Border Fights and Fighters_, p. 211. For a more extended account,
consult Roosevelt's _Winning of the West_, Vol. II, p. 31.
A novel by Maurice Thompson, _Alice of Old Vincennes_, gives a
graphic description of Clark's campaign.
CHAPTER II, PAGE 18
A MIDWINTER CAMPAIGN
For an account of Arnold's expedition to Canada, read articles in
_The Century Magazine_ for January and February, 1903, by Professor
Justin H. Smith. Codman's _Arnold's Expedition to Quebec_ is a
fair-sized volume, and full of interest. Read also Lodge's _Story of
the Revolution_, Vol. I, p. 106.
Tomlinson's _Under Colonial Colors_, the story of Arnold's expedition
to Quebec told for boys, is an interesting and stimulating work of
fiction.
CHAPTER III, PAGE 36
HOW PALMETTO LOGS MAY BE USED
The defense of Fort Sullivan is well described in Brady's _American
Fights and Fighters_, p. 5, and Lodge's _Story of the Revolution_,
Vol. I, p. 126.
CHAPTER IV, PAGE 50
THE PATRIOT SPY
Perhaps the most readable account of Nathan Hale is to be found in
Lossing's _Two Spies_ (Andre and Hale). Consult Partridge's _Nathan
Hale_, a character study.
In connection with this story, Chapter XVII, "The Story of Arnold's
Treason," in Blaisdell's _Story of American History_ may be
profitably read.
CHAPTER V, PAGE 62
OUR GREATEST PATRIOT
For the everyday life of Washington, consult Paul Leicester Ford's
_The True George Washington_. Refer to sundry sections in Bolton's
_The Private Soldier under Washington_ and in Herbert's _Washington:
His Homes and his Households_.
Read the stirring romance about Washington, _A Virginia Cavalier_, by
Molly Elliot Seawell.
CHAPTER VI, PAGE 77
A MIDNIGHT SURPRISE
For the capture of Stony Point, read Lodge's _Story of the
Revolution_, Vol. II, p. 130; Brady's _American Fights and Fighters_,
p. 121; and Roosevelt and Lodge's _Hero Tales from American History_,
p. 79. Henry P. Johnston's _The Storming of Stony Point_ is perhaps
the best account ever written of this famous exploit.
CHAPTER VII, PAGE 90
THE DEFEAT OF THE RED DRAGOONS
Read Roosevelt and Lodge's _Hero Tales from American History_, p. 69,
and Lodge's _Story of the Revolution_, p
