J. Harold I collect preprimers and primers as I taught first grade for years and years. I love old school books but only the ones I used as a child or first grade text. I have a pretty complete set of Dick and Jane. I was talking about that to some friends up in Oregon one summer. The friend of my friend went to a yard sale the next day and came home with a small orange volume. He handed it to me saying "I know you collect childeren's books."
I let out a warwhoop you could have heard back east . I had in my hand David Farragut , Boy Sailor from a series called Childhood Biographys of Famous Americans. A series I had loved as a child . I read them all . I had been trying for years to find one or anyone else that remembered them as I did.
Now here by chance was not only one of the series but a Civil War one. I was so greatful for that fellow that misunderstood what it was exactly that I collected.

Susan,
There's a local bookstore that has several of the Childhood Biography series. Let me know if you're interested in them and I'll see what I can set up.
