UNCLE SAM'S ARMY BOYS IN KHAKI UNDER CANVAS or BOB HAMILTON AND THE MUNITION PLANT PLOT. By Major Andrew S. Burley, M. A. Donohue & Co., Chicago, 1919.
 
Juvenile - Classic Fiction 
 
Robert Lee "Bob" Hamilton is a descendant of Robert E. Lee. Bob and his pal Sid join the Virginia State Militia and fight in several spots during and after WWI. A typical wartime boys' series, the books are full of patriotism and ideals of "Southern manliness and honor." While Bob exhibits these qualities in spades, there is something mildly endearing about a military series in which the hero is so reluctant to actually fight.
 
Nice cover with a secure binding and clean pages (light pull at frontis picture gutter). 250 pages.
