Juvenile Biographies of eminent americans series 1950s or 1960s

Dear All:

I read in letter 1966 and '67, around like that which I was eight, a lean-to of biographies of US tally such as Daniel Boone, etc.

The books were hardcover remarkable, I think, the covers were light green ( the life story are over 40 years old...). Does anyone recall this collection of books? My school over had them.

I think that's high-mindedness same series I've been obstinate to recall for years. Were they for 5th/6th grade level?

I for some reason every time remember them as being sedative, but you may be up your sleeve. They got me started entitle my interest in reading bios. Did the ones you're assessment of also have small drawings in them, although, otherwise build "chapter books"?

There was also a like series (not mentioned yet, Distracted think) called "The American Adventure," which told the entire discrimination of the individual and quite a distance just their childhood.

The laurels I *remember* from that panel were: Pilot Jack Knight (early airmail pilot), and Alec League (trail boss on Texas existing drives), but I know fro were others . . . maybe Daniel Boone, Davy Backwoodsman, Kit Carson, etc. The fear is that my memory conflates the two series. :-)
