Excerpt from Dramatized Scenes From American History These plays are really dramatic pageants, and the various acts are, with few exceptions, episodes, with different characters and representing different peri ods of time. Many Of the episodes are in themselves complete plays, and can be presented for Thanks giving, Christmas, Flag Day, Washington's Birth day, and so on. For example, Act I of A Dream of Gold and Act II of The Man who bore the Bur den are suitable for Christmas. Any one of the acts of A Dream of Freedom or of Troubles on Land and Sea could be used for Thanksgiving. For Flag Day, Fourth of July, and other patriotic celebra tions, there is abundant material in The Boston Tea Party, When Courage was needed, and A Brave Deed by Brave Men. Any one of the epi sodes in The Man who bore the Burden could be used as a play for February 22. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
