g Americans, and older ones as well, to
whom the name of Lafayette is ever dear. It is an absorbing, simply
told, and stirring story of a remarkable character in American
history, and is the "whole story" from the boyhood of the great
Frenchman to the close of his long, dramatic, and romantic career.

ELBRIDGE S. BROOKS'S BOOKS

=The True Story of the United States of America.= Profusely illustrated,
4to, cloth $1.50

This is in every sense a companion volume to the series of "Children's
Lives of Great Men." It tells the true story of the beginnings, rise,
and development of the republic of the United States, without the
dreary array of dates or the dull succession of events that so often
make up history for the young. Its object is to tell the story of the
people of America,--to awaken an interest in motives as well as
persons, in principle rather than in battles, in the patriotism and
manliness that make a people rather than in the simply personal
qualities that make the leader or the individual. The book is very
largely used for supplementary reading in schools, and is accepted as
the most popular "story" of the United States yet told for young
people.

=The Story of Our War with Spain.= Told for young Americans. Profusely
illustrated, one vol., 8vo $1.50

An authentic, complete, up-to-date, and reliable account of the war
for Cuban liberation in 1898, prepared after a careful study of the
best and latest data. It is at once comprehensive, graphic, and
entertaining, and well sustains the reputation earned by this author's
long list of interesting, instructive, and successful books for young
Americans.

=In Buff and Blue=: A STORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Illustrated by
Merrill, one vol., 8vo $1.50

This stirring story of the Revolution details the adventures of one of
Washington's famous life-guards, who is a college mate of Alexander
Hamilton, and fights with him from Trenton to Yorktown. It deals with
school and camp in the "days that tried men's souls" here in America,
and introduces such famous characters as Washington, Hamilton,
Lafayette, Arnold, Andre, and Wayne. A splendid book for boys and
girls.

=The Story of the American Indian.= Profusely illustrated, 4to, cloth
$1.50

The first and only complete and consecutive story of the red men of
America. It is sympathetic but not sentimental, practical but not
one-sided, picturesque but not romantic. A book for all Americans to
read.
