. 56.

In connection with Chapters VII and VIII, read "The War of the
Revolution in the South," in Blaisdell's _Story of American History_,
Chapter XVI, p, 250.

CHAPTER VIII, PAGE 105
FROM TEAMSTER TO MAJOR GENERAL

Read Brady's _American Fights and Fighters_, p. 84, for an account of
General Morgan; also Chapter IV, "King's Mountain and the Cowpens,"
in Lodge's _Story of the Revolution_, Vol. II, p. 56.

CHAPTER IX, PAGE 123
THE FINAL VICTORY

For a description of the battle at Yorktown, read Brady's _American
Fights and Fighters_, p. 143, and Chapter VII in Lodge's _Story of
the Revolution_, p. 165. Henry P. Johnston's _The Yorktown Campaign_
is excellent for collateral reference.

CHAPTER X, PAGE 138
THE CRISIS

Very little collateral reading should be allowed in reading this
chapter on framing the Constitution. Sundry topics may be sparingly
selected for reading from the index to Fiske's _Critical Period of
American History_. Fiske's _Civil Government in the United States_
may be utilized for reference.

Read Brooks's _Century Book for Young Americans_; Chapter II in
Elson's _Side Lights on American History_ (First Series, p. 24), on
"The Framing of the Constitution"; and Chapter XII, p. 283, in
Higginson's _Larger History of the United States_, on "The Birth of a
Nation."

NOTE.--For the War of the Revolution no more interesting books can be
read by pupils than Brooks's _Century Book of the Revolution_ and
Coffin's _Boys of '76_. Lossing's _Field Book of the Revolution_, in
two large volumes, is interesting, and contains hundreds of
illustrations.

CHAPTER XI, PAGE 156
A DARING EXPLOIT

Read "Decatur and the Philadelphia," in Brady's _American Fights and
Fighters_, p. 199, and "The Burning of the Philadelphia," in
Roosevelt and Lodge's _Hero Tales from American History_, p. 103.

Read Seawell's storybook, _Decatur and Somers_; and Barnes's
_Commodore Bainbridge_, a story.

CHAPTER XII, PAGE 169
"OLD IRONSIDES"

Consult two chapters in Brady's _American Fights and Fighters_: "The
Constitution's Hardest Fight," p. 215, and "The Constitution's Last
Battle," p. 304. Hollis's _Frigate Constitution_ is invaluable for
reading and reference. Refer to Lossing's _History of the War of
1812_ and Lodge's _A Fighting Frigate and Other Essays_.

In connection with this chapter, read "What our Navy did in the War
of 1812," in Blaisdell's _Story of America
