[Vicki Ceara · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book as a child. Mom found it in a second hand shop, the copy is dated 1908. The book obviously is written for children of the age, and is colored with Rev. Lyman's personal views. But for the time it well written. Good for children who are very interested in history.
