Book Description
This 1898 novel is the second of six books in Edward Stratemeyer's "Old Glory Series." The Series follows the three Russell brothers -- Larry, Ben, and Walter -- as they participate in the United States' war with Spain. Each book stands on its own, so if you haven't read the first Old Glory book yet, no worries. In this book, Ben joins the Army at age 18, and winds up assigned to Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and participates in Cuba's effort to gain independence from Spain. Non-stop action and adventure. "Fighting for the Single Star" refers to the Cuban flag, which has one, or a "single" star. This edition of the book contains the seven original illustrations, rejuvenated, and three additional illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book. Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930) was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He was an American publisher and writer of books for children. He wrote 150 books himself, and created the most famous of the series books for juveniles, including the Rover Boys (1899 and after), Bobbsey Twins (1904), Tom Swift (1910), Hardy Boys (1927), and Nancy Drew (1930) series, among others. Stratemeyer pioneered the technique of producing long-running, consistent series of books using a team of freelance authors to write standardised novels, which were published under a pen name owned by his company. Through his Stratemeyer Syndicate, founded in 1906, Stratemeyer produced short plot summaries for the novels in each series, which he sent to other writers who completed the story. Stratemeyer's series were also innovative in that they were intended purely as entertainment, with little of the moral lessons or educational intent found in most other popular fiction of the early twentieth century. Stratemeyer's series included, besides the famous ones, many that are now forgotten except by collectors: The Motor Boys (1906), Honey Bunch (1923), The Blythe Girls (1925) and Bomba the Jungle Boy (1926).

Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...And a laugh went up. " I want no insult from you," roared Holgait, red in the face. "I--I am a gentleman, and I expect Uncle Sam to treat me like one." " Oxactly," put in Stummer. " Ve vill haf von glass case made for you ven ve reach Cuba, und you can sthay in dot vile ve does der fighting, hey? " " You shut up, Dutchy! I am a gentleman, and if you can't appreciate the feelings of a gentleman, you had better--oh!" Gerald broke off and began to splutter. Frank, passing along with a bucket of water, had slipped on the rolling deck, and bumped up against Hoi-gait, and a large part of the water had found its way over the dude's breast and down his neck. " You--you villain! " gasped' Holgait as soon as he could recover. " You did that on purpose!" " No, I did not, Holgait. The ship rolled and--" " I say you did. I--I shall report you to Captain Blank for it." At this another laugh went up. The idea of such a trivial occurrence being reported! Even Frank smiled. " All right; go ahead," he said. " You and Russell think you can lord it over me, but you can't," went on Holgait, catching sight of Ben behind Frank. " You two think you are the king-pins of the company." " That's it exactly," said Montgomery Dwight. " The pair make me sick, and so do that Irishman and that Dutchman. I don't see why they were allowed to enlist with us." At this Casey blazed up. " Montgomery Dwight, I consider meself as good a man as you, even if I haven't the money you have," he cried. " I am willing to go to the front and fight to the last drop of me blood for Uncle Sam. More than that no man can do." " Hurrah for Casey! " came in a shout. " That's the talk. Don't let the dudes walk over you, Dan."

Book Description
"For the Liberty of Texas is a tale complete in itself, but it forms the first of a line of three volumes to be known under the general title of Mexican War Series. Primarily the struggle of the Texans for freedom did not form a part of our war with Mexico, yet this struggle led up directly to the greater war to follow, and it is probably a fact that had the people of Texas not at first accomplished their freedom, there would have been no war between the two larger republics." -- from the Preface.
