Contains 8 stories
Iwo Jima
4 pp · war

The 28th Marine Regiment faces murderous Japanese defenses as they assault Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, fighting through caves, pillboxes, and entrenched gun nests to reach the volcano's base. As the Marines claw their way up the mountainside, they plant a flag at the summit—and in doing so, capture one of history's most iconic moments, immortalized by war photographer Joe Rosenthal. This four-page war story chronicles the real battle behind the image that would inspire a nation and honor the Marine Corps for generations to come.

Fort Kearny
4 pp · non-fiction; western-frontier

In the fall of 1866, tensions explode on the frontier when Chief Red Cloud and Chief Crazy Horse unite the Sioux nation to drive out the soldiers who surround their lands and break their treaties. Using cunning deception—a false attack that draws the cavalry into a canyon ambush—the Sioux win a decisive victory and force Fort Kearny itself to fall. This dramatic clash ultimately leads to the Treaty of 1868, a pivotal moment in frontier history commemorated a century later with a U.S. postage stamp.

The Boy Scout Stamp
3 pp · non-fiction

In June 1950, the U.S. Post Office issued a three-cent stamp honoring the Boy Scouts of America, and this story follows a young scout's unforgettable experience at the National Scout Jamboree held at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where 47,000 boys gathered to celebrate scouting's ideals of character and citizenship. From arrival and campsite setup through health inspections, stamp collecting, and performances by scouts from around the world, the narrator shares the camaraderie, speeches by President Truman and General Eisenhower, and the bonds forged across different nations and backgrounds. It's a firsthand account of what made that historic gathering a treasured memory.

Mail on Skis
4 pp · adventure; non-fiction
John A. "Snowshoe" Thompson [Jon Torsteinson Rue]

In the California goldfields of 1854, stranded miners desperate for winter mail delivery meet a young Norwegian rancher named John A. "Snowshoe" Thompson, who proposes an audacious solution: fashioning skis to carry letters over the snow-buried mountains when traditional routes shut down. Thompson's daring idea takes shape, and this non-fiction tale tracks how skiing—born in Norway—found its first practical American use not on a slope, but in the hands of mail carriers battling blizzards to keep families connected across impossible terrain.

Untitled story
2 pp · non-fiction
King of the Pirates
5 pp · adventure; non-fiction
Siegfried and the Dragon
4 pp · fantasy

Deep in a dark forest, the young hero Siegfried discovers he alone possesses the power to restore a shattered magic sword—a blade that may be his only chance against Fafnir, the ancient dragon guarding the legendary treasure of the Nibelungs. With the sword reforged and his courage unshakeable, Siegfried ventures into the monster's lair for a battle that will test him in ways he never imagined. This 1952 tale brings the classic fantasy legend to vivid life in four thrilling pages.

Casey Jones
4 pp · adventure; non-fiction

When a sick crew member leaves the Cannonball Express without an engineer, Casey Jones steps up to take the run—but his determined bid to make up lost time leads him straight toward a deadly collision just outside Vaughn, Mississippi. Facing an impossible choice between saving himself and trying to stop the hurtling locomotive, Casey acts with the courage that would later inspire a legendary song. This 1952 tale honors the real railroad engineer whose sacrifice became part of American folklore.
