I am too old to have gotten the American Heritage Book as a child. BUT the Landmark books are a different story. I read as many of them as I could find. Also another series on the childhood of famous Americans. When I was a kid they were Orange with silouettes instead of drawings or pictures in them. I read everyone of them too . I think my real interest in history came from those books. A couple of years ago a friend of a friend had heard me talking about how I collect beginning readers , he lucky for me misunderstood what I said . He went to a yard sale and came back with a little orange book. He handed it to me and I let out a whoop. I had been searching for one of those treasured books for years . He found this one at a yard sale in Cave Junction Oregon where we both were visiting the same friend.
Oh and the title of the one he found? David Farragut boy sailor. I have sense found one at a bookstore here in So. Cal and have purchased two others on line form Alibris .
So even though I never owned the book you are talking about I understand the connection to it.
