Portraits, maps, facsimiles of documents and autographs, etc., etc. are often easily obtained from book catalogues, guide books, advertising pages, and secondhand text-books.
All this illustrative material should be pasted into the notebook at the proper place, neatly and with good judgment, with plenty of space for margins. Such a compilation is, of course, a matter of slow growth. It should be preserved as a pleasant reminder of school days.
REFERENCE BOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTARY READING TO BE USED WITH "HERO STORIES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY"
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.
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.
Perhaps the most readable account of Nathan Hale is to be found in Lossing's _Two Spies_ (André 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.
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.
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.
