Almoran and Hamet: An Oriental Tale, both volumes in a single file (1761)
Rewrite of Swiss Family Robinson for American children, first published in 1918. According to the preface: "It was written to be used as a content in giving a knowledge of the beginning and
development of human progress. The aim is not just to furnish an interesting narrative, but one that is true to the course of human development and the scientific and geographical facts of the island on which Robinson is supposed to have lived. The excuse for departing so widely from the original story is to be found in the use which was desired to be made of it. The story here
presented is simply the free adaptation of the original narrative to the demand for a specific kind of content in a form which would be interesting to the children."
