Publisher's Synopsis
Rebecca Harding Davis, best known for her short story "Life in the Iron-Mills," also wrote numerous stories for boys and girls, which she published in all the children's literary magazines of her time, like The Riverside Magazine for Young People, St. Nicholas, and Our Young Folks. This volume collects five of her best stories for boys and is dedicated to all the boys who dream big and love tales of historical life and daring adventure. Rebecca Harding Davis created these stories for her own boys-Richard and Charles-over one hundred years ago, but boys today will love them just as much as her boys did then.
