famous General Washington, these stories follow
exactly the life of the great American, by means of playing they act the
life of the Washingtons, both in battles and in society.
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS
Their thrilling battles and expeditions generally
end in "punishment" lessons read by Mrs. Parke
from the "Life of Washington." The culprits listen
intently, for this reading generally gives them
new ideas for further games of Indian warfare and
Colonists' battles.
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS RELATIVES
The Davis children visit the Parke home and join
zealously in the games of playing General
Washington. So zealously, in fact, that little Jim
almost loses his scalp.
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' TRAVELS
The children wage a fierce battle upon the roof of
a hotel in New York City. Then, visiting the Davis
home in Philadelphia, the patriotic Washingtons
vanquish the Hessians on a battle-field in the
empty lot back of the Davis property.
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS AT SCHOOL
After the school-house battle the Washingtons
discover a band of gypsies camping near the back
road to their homes and incidentally they secure
the stolen horse which the gypsies had taken from
the "butter and egg farmer" of the Parkes.
THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' HOLIDAYS
They spend a pleasant summer on two adjoining
farms in Vermont. During the voyage they try to
capture a "frigate" but little Jim is caught and
about to be punished by the Captain when his
confederates hasten in and save him.
