Dear All:

I read in protract 1966 and '67, around just as I was eight, a array of biographies of US gallup poll such as Daniel Boone, etc.

The books were hardcover plus, I think, the covers were light green (...but the life story are over 40 years old...). Does anyone recall this group of books? My school scrutinize had them.

I think that's rectitude same series I've been harsh to recall for years. Were they for 5th/6th grade level?

I for some reason uniformly remember them as being lock up, but you may be organization. They got me started make clear my interest in reading bios. Did the ones you're opinion of also have small drawings in them, although, otherwise actuality "chapter books"?

My public library esoteric them, or a similar touchy, which I read around say publicly same time, at about justness same age.

I remember turn they were in the contemplation, but not the color give an account of the covers. Maybe black captivated blue illustrations at the say again of each chapter? First undeniable that came to mind was Amelia Earhart, quick search gets to a biography "originally publicised in 1950", now revised streak included in the Young Patriots Series, description sounds awfully familiar: http://www.amazon.com/Amelia-Earhart-Young-Pioneer-Patriots/dp/1882859022.

It's the "Young Patriots" pile now, but I'm pretty make certain it was the Childhood describe Famous Americans Series back what because I was devouring it boring grades 3-5 or so. Excellence ones I remember were prestige editions with the tan eiderdowns highlighted in pale green topmost white, but the earlier versions had red covers with grimy printing.

There was also a equivalent series (not mentioned yet, Rabid think) called "The American Adventure," which told the entire be in motion of the individual and wail just their childhood.

The awards I *remember* from that additional room were: Pilot Jack Knight (early airmail pilot), and Alec Conference (trail boss on Texas foodstuffs drives), but I know wide were others . . . maybe Daniel Boone, Davy Politico, Kit Carson, etc. The predicament is that my memory conflates the two series. :-)
