The listing, 4 Dear America Books has ended.
These books are perfect for young girls! In fact, reading these books was all the rage while I was growing up. Each of them is set up like reading a girl's journal about her struggles in America during different time periods. Not only are the books interesting, but they help teach girls how other girls lived in the past. Here are the books you get:
So Far From Home: The Diary of Mary Driscoll, An Irish Mill Girl, Lowell, Massachusetts 1847 ---The story of 14-year-old Mary Driscoll's escape from the famine in her native County Cork, Ireland, and her new life working in a textile mill in Lowell, MA, is presented in brief diary entries dated from April to November 1847.
Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell, 1847---Thirteen-year-old Hattie Campbell records the details of her family's harrowing migration to Oregon in a covered wagon and describes the many challenges, both joyful and tragic, that mark the journey.
I Thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly: The Diary of Patsy, a Freed Girl, Mars Bluff, South Carolina 1865---Diary of a young girl who was just freed from slavery in the south
My America: My Brother's Keeper: Virginia's Civil War Diary, Book One--- The story of Ginny, a young girl who keeps a journal during the Civil War's Battle of Gettysburg.
All of them are in pretty good condition, but have been sitting on a shelf for many years. Also, two of the books have holographic stickers on the inside cover.
