    This is a Second Grade Reader schoolbook from the Eclectic School Readings Series titled "Stories of Great Americans for Little Americans" by Edward Eggleston - Copyright 1895 and published by the American Book Co., New York~Cincinnati~Chicago - Hardcover / 159 pages / illustrated
    -- Stories covers such Great Americans as Benjamin Franklin, William Penn, John Stark, Benny West (painter), Daniel Boone, Washington Irving, John Audubon (naturist), Daniel Webster, Longfellow, and Horace Greeley. Many of the stories depict these Great Americans during their childhood years to appeal to the ages of the pupils. Also I notice that some of the larger words and names are hyphenated to seperate the syllables, another aid in learning to read at such a young age. Many of the illustrations also depict these Americans as young boys. Only two Great American women mentioned, way back on the last few pages, Dorothy Dix & Louisa Alcott.
