A little about the book
Wilbur F. Gordy tells the story of the United States from the years before the Revolution to the expansion westward, through the lives of the people who made it: Patrick Henry, George Washington, Lewis and Clark, Daniel Boone and many more.
Each chapter is a true story, told clearly for young readers. The book reflects the attitudes of its time, but it remains a readable introduction to the period.
