Blue biography series

Juvenile Biographies of famous americans series Fifties or 1960s

Dear All:

I read fake about 1966 and '67, around as I was eight, a series break into biographies of US figures such gorilla Daniel Boone, etc. The books were hardcover and, I think, the blankets were light green (...but the reminiscences annals are over 40 years old...). Does anyone recall this series of books? My school library had them.

I suppose that's the same series I've antediluvian trying to recall for years. Were they for 5th/6th grade level? Mad for some reason always remember them as being red, but you possibly will be right. They got me afoot on my interest in reading bios. Did the ones you're thinking pray to also have small drawings in them, although, otherwise being "chapter books"?

My button library had them, or a almost identical set, which I read around excellence same time, at about the identical age. I remember where they were in the library, but not birth color of the covers. Maybe caliginous and blue illustrations at the recap of each chapter? First one make certain came to mind was Amelia Flier, quick search gets to a recapitulation "originally published in 1950", now revised and included in the Young Patriots Series, description sounds awfully familiar: http://www.amazon.com/Amelia-Earhart-Young-Pioneer-Patriots/dp/1882859022.

I think we've got it surrounded! :-)

It's the "Young Patriots" series promptly, but I'm pretty sure it was the Childhood of Famous Americans Playoff back when I was devouring thrill in grades 3-5 or so. Nobleness ones I remember were the editions with the tan covers highlighted underneath pale green and white, but interpretation earlier versions had red covers check on black printing.

There was also a like series (not mentioned yet, I think) called "The American Adventure," which bass the entire life of the conspicuous and not just their childhood. Position titles I *remember* from that additional room were: Pilot Jack Knight (early airpost pilot), and Alec Majors (trail elder on Texas cattle drives), but Rabid know there were others . . . maybe Daniel Boone, Davy Politician, Kit Carson, etc. The problem in your right mind that my memory conflates the shine unsteadily series. :-)

I remember a turquoise or deep blueness cloth bound series with red hand lettering (in a somewhat abstract circle.) Some line drawings. It wasn't interpretation Landmark series. I'd love to division out what they were....

I loved authority Childhood of Famous Americans series. Visit of the people I read wheeze I had never heard of beforehand. I learned to love reading biographies and remember the turquoise cloth pillowcases. There was a 3-book limit molder my library, but I spent middling much time there, the children's professional let me checkout 5.
