"A dictionary definition of CLASSIC: (adj.) of the highest class; being a model of its kind, excellent; standard; authoritative; established.

"That about sums up these lovely history books from Lost Classics Book Company. When I finally pried them out of my fifth-grade daughter's hands, I too was captivated by these books, written in the late 1800s [Stories of Great Americans for Little Americans, ages 6-8; A First Book in American History, ages 9-12; A History of the United States and Its People, ages 12 and up] . . . These books are beautifully illustrated, with study questions at the end of each chapter [except Stories of Great Americans]--often as many as 50 questions to help the student master the subject. For refreshing, politically incorrect history books, take a look at these classics." from the article "Curriculum Corner," review by Judy McAdoo
