Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boys' Book of Frontier Fighters These are stories Of bravery and Of pluck amidst great Odds. In many of the stories victory was won by the aid of powder, ball and steel, used manfully. In others it was won by sheer nerve and wit alone - for a good fighter fights with his heart and head as fully as with his hands. Americans have always been great fighters, when called upon to fight in self-defense. They never quit until they are killed or triumphant; and although many may be killed, those they leave press forward again. In France the Americans never gave up an inch. We Americans of to-day, looking back, may be proud not only of the part played by our blood in the World War, but likewise Of the part it played in the days when, rifle in hand, we were hewing the peace trail in our own country.

Excerpt: ... sidled along, until they could tell their partners. "I'll go," Fat Bear's spunky brother agreed at once. "If they try to catch us we'll fight 'em off with clubs and rocks. Who's afraid of the old men? We'll make their tongues hang out." "I'll go, you bet," agreed the fourth, also. "My folks need me. I'm sick of playing Injun." "Well, we'll all lie down to sleep; and in the middle of the night I'll wake you up," proposed Buck Elk. "Sure?" "Sure. Now don't let's talk any more." At dark the camp went to bed. The two old Indians were sound sleepers. About midnight Buck Elk softly turned; he had not slept a wink. He nudged the next boy, the next boy nudged the next, and the nudge was passed on. They softly slipped, one after another, from their blankets. The two old Indians never stirred. In the star-light the four hastily grabbed what food they could; and leaving White Eagle and Singing Bird lying there they tiptoed away, on their silent moccasins, into the forest. Fat Bear led. He was a good woodsman. Soon they ran; and they ran and walked fast until daylight, traveling with their backs to the North Star. Then the sun guided them, until about noon, when they had to stop and rest. "How far, you think?" panted the fourth boy. "Twenty-five miles, I guess. We'd better cover our trail and hide. Come on. Follow me," bade crafty Fat Bear. They stepped on rocks and logs, swung from tree to tvee, and dropped down among bushes. That was an anxious afternoon. One kept watch while the others slept. They took turns watching and listening. They heard not a sound of the pursuit. Except for the birds and squirrels the forest was quiet. Their hearts beat hopefully. But...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boys Book of Border Battles In the United States of North America there have been several great battle-fields, each much larger than the battle-field of France. The first was that of the Ohio River country - the Valley of the Beautiful River which drains Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania. Another, yet larger, was that of the plains and mountains West, extending from Mexico to Canada, and from the Mississippi to the Rockies. In the Ohio Valley the Shawnees, the Miamis, the War Delawares, the Mingo Iroquois, the Wyandots fought hard to keep the white man out. In the Far West and Southwest the Blackfeet, the Sioux, the Cheyennes, the Kiowas, the Comanches and the Apaches fought equally hard for the same purpose. Boys' Book of Indian Warriors and Boys' Book of Frontier Fighters have told of these and other combats when the red Americans tried to stand off the white Americans. But both battle-fields saw wars of white and white as well as wars of white and red. In the Ohio Valley the American colonists helped their mother country, England, against the French - and the French lost that region. And in the Southwest the United States fought Mexico. Boys' Book of Border Battles is therefore white and red. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Boys Book of Border Battles written by Edwin L. Sabin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of historical war literature, Boys’ Book of Border Battles puts you at the scene of some of the most important and storied battles in the history of North America. From George Washington’s charges against the French in the mid-1700s to the lengthy and drawn-out wars in the western territories between the ever-advancing white frontier settlers and Native American tribes, Sabin’s book is an important record of American history. Noted both for the author’s exhaustive research and for his historical accuracy (even his writing style might suggest a document written during the time periods he writes about), the Boys’ Book of Border Battles is the final book in a trilogy penned by Sabin about the adventures of the Wild West. But where the other volumes dealt more with the lawlessness and chaos that defined the early days of frontier living for white settlers, this last title is described in the author’s own words as “an American soldier book, of organized fighting on American soil by militia, volunteers, and the regulars of the ‘old army.’” This Skyhorse reprint of the 1920 text faithfully reproduces Boys’ Book of Border Battles in its original state, complete with high-quality replicas of the illustration plates that accompany the book.
