Washington. So zealously, in fact, that little Jim
almost loses his scalp. THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' TRAVELS The children wage a fierce battle upon the roof of a hotel in New York City. Then, visiting the Davis home in Philadelphia, the patriotic Washingtons vanquish the Hessians on a battle-field in the empty lot back of the Davis property. THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS AT SCHOOL After the school-house battle the Washingtons discover a band of gypsies camping near the back road to their homes and incidentally they secure the stolen horse which the gypsies had taken from the "butter and egg farmer" of the Parkes. THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' HOLIDAYS They spend a pleasant summer on two adjoining farms in Vermont. During the voyage they try to capture a "frigate" but little Jim is caught and about to be punished by the Captain when his confederates hasten in and save him. |
