1948 Stories of My Country’s Growth by Jesse H. Ames, Illustrated Vintage Book
This mid-century American history textbook uses vivid illustrations and simplified storytelling to engage young readers with tales of the country’s expansion and development. Part of the “American Life” history series, the book presents a blend of romanticized national milestones and everyday heroism, with sections on spinning wheels, steam engines, buffalo hunts, and westward migration.
