1918. 188p. by Wilbur F Gordy. 

This book aims to teach American ideals and patriotism through the lives of notable figures in American history. It does not focus on detailed historical events or biographies but rather seeks to clarify the meaning of patriotism and the concept of a government that is of, for, and by the people. Through carefully selected stories of individuals like Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and the Pilgrims, the author illustrates the values of freedom, justice, and civic responsibility that have shaped the nation.
