Each of the six plays is a dramtic unit, complete in itself. Based on historical events, the lives and characters of great Americans, and (as in The Spy) an initial American contribution to classic world literature, they bring history "live" to the classroom. They are suitable for reading, acting and informal production right in the classroom at grade levels from upper elementary through Junior and Senior high.
