Baldwin's Biographical Stories: For Young American Readers (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Baldwin's Biographical Stories: For Young American Readers

The rough hunter loved his children fondly. When he came home from a day's hunt and Daniel toddled down the path to meet him, he tossed the sturdy little fellow upon his shoulder and let him examine the heavy flint-lock with eager baby fingers. Or perhaps he had brought a shy rabbit or cunning squirrel to his boy, just as your father sometimes brings a ball or a toy to your younger brother.

Daniel loved animals and had no fear of them. These tiny creatures of the woods were his play fellows, and his father's hunting-dogs were his com rades.

As soon as he was old enough he went with his brothers and sisters to the log schoolhouse to learn to read and write. The schoolroom was small dark, and comfortless. The master was cross and unjust. The place seemed like a prison to Daniel.
