I purchased the Christian Liberty Press version of this book to use with our Beautiful Feet Early American History. Upon opening the book I was devistated to find the stories had been "rewritten/sanitized" to make them politically correct and reflect the theology of the Reformed Church and Christian Liberty School.
Thank goodness Lisa Ripperton and her staff at Yesterday's Classics are in business! The title "Yesterday's Classics" pretty much says it all. The books are the original classics as originally penned by the author. Nothing has been added to or taken away from the books. In the post modern 21st century it is nice to know you can rely on a company to provide you with quality merchandise at an affordable price.

I read this book to my six-year-old daughter as part of her study of early American history. There are many stories of courageous, hard-working, and quick-thinking colonial children that captured my daughter's attention. We both enjoyed the story of the little girl who made lots of soap that saved her from being kidnapped by an Indian, as well as the boy who escaped death with a young George Washington. This book makes a great addition to a homeschool or family library.
