The Boston Tea Party and Other Stories Of The American Revolution
Relating Many Daring Deeds of the Old Heroes (1888)
The original 1888 text available in ebook format for the first time!
From the original preface:
"No event excites more interest among Americans than the destruction of the tea in Boston Harbor. Then and there the unconquerable resolution of freemen was first made apparent to the obstinate oppressors of our infant country. Yet, until of late years, the history of the affair was very imperfectly known, and the names of men who participated in it are scarcely mentioned . In these pages will be found a faithful account of this daring exploit ; and, in connection with the other narratives, it is hoped it will kindle in the breasts of young readers an enthusiasm for liberty. The anecdotes of personal daring, the descriptions of men and of places, the fragments of history and the accounts of campaigns which follow the story of the “ Tea -Party ,” cannot fail to interest and instruct youthful readers, and must awaken a desire to learn more of the events which shaped the growth of our nation."
Includes all illustrations and back-matter from the original.

Headless 1776
"A wildly imaginative YA novel for those who love a good mix of fact and fiction. This occasionally gory and fast-paced piece of historical fiction is engaging from the first page. The richness of the adventure, the vivid depictions of battles, and Elijah’s complex personality make this more than a spooky story, but rather a coming-of-age novella from a dynamic time and place in history.
Schneider has breathed new life into an old legend with creative flair in this chilling historical horror." - SPR
