Most of this book was about St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. My son (11) happened to bring this book to me shortly after her feast day to read at night. It took us some time to get through all the stories - it's hard for boys to get too excited about girl saints. Stories featuring Native Americans were dated, even though this says it was revised in 1992. (I'm not sure what kind of revisions we're made). He liked the last story, John Phillip, best.

This book is even better than the first one! My family all gathered around one by one as I read these stories to my toddler at bedtime. Everyone will love and learn from these short stories. I look forward to reading the next two books!

Nice, but much less so in comparison to Volume I. The focus seemed to be on the inspiring stories being American, and not simply the inspiring stories themselves.
