Gentlemen of Misfortune
I was thrilled when my parents found their 1921 hardcover edition of Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates!The Dover edition includes an extra story, "The Ruby of Kishmoor," (which I have read separately) and far more painted illustrations or quick sketches for the reader to enjoy.The cover of the book is one of the more extraordinary paintings done by Mr. Pyle.
Great Stories; Okay Illustrations
This book is a collection of pirate stories from Howard Pyle. I am a big fan and love his pirate paintings, and found this book didn't have what I was after - full fledged color illustrations of his pirate paintings. A Book For People That Like Fiction
This book is a collection of fictional pirate stories that is sure to entertain young adults.Some of the dialog is in the Old English format, but it is not that difficult to get through.I was dissapointed in the book because it was exclusively fiction and the stories were not even based on true stories.I would not recomend this book for anyone above the highschool grade level. It is a book of adventure stories that would appeal to young males.One of the strong points of this book is that it had excellent drawings. These drawings were spread throughout the book and helped you get an image of the story.If you are interested in the history of pirates don't make the mistake I did because you will be disappointed. ...

The Colliers explain the birth of big government in the U.S.
"Progressivism, the Great Depression, and the New Deal: 1901-1941," offers up a nice little dialectic about the birth of big government.This 19th volume (following the order on the back of the book) in The Drama of American History series by Christopher & James Lincoln Collier looks at how the Great Depression allowed the progressive ideas advanced by Theodore Roosevelt to become instantiated in the Federal Government during Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.Consequently, this volume is ideal for highlighting the strengths of the series: the presidencies of the two Roosevelts would never be covered in this way in the same chapter of a standard American history textbook, and not only the Depression but the First World War would have covered in intervening chapters.With this "central core" approach the reasons for the Great Depression, as well as the attempted solutions by FDR, should be made very clear to young readers.Read more
