Books with author Olive Beaupre (Ed.) Miller

Originally published in 1922 as a portion of the larger “My Book House, Volume 6: The Latch Key,” this Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 16 pages, describes the life of children’s author and novelist Louisa May Alcott.Sample passage:Louisa was a strong, active, handsome girl with blue eyes and a perfect mane of heavy chestnut hair. She could run for miles and miles and never get tired and she was as sturdy as a boy. Indeed, her mother used sometimes to call her Jo in fun and say that Jo was her only son. Jo loved to climb trees and leap fences, run races and roll hoops, and when she was not playing with her sisters she liked best to play with boys. But beside all these lively sports, Louisa liked, too, to curl herself up in a chair and read or study. Sometimes she would go off alone up into the garret, taking a pile of apples with her and her favorite book. There she would read and munch away in happy solitude. All day long she had interesting thoughts and often she wrote these down in her diary. She used to make up stories, too, and tell them to her sisters.About the author:Olive Beaupré Miller (1883-1968) was an American author, publisher, and editor of books for children. Other works include “Engines and Brass Bands,” “Heroes, Outlaws and Funny Fellows of American Popular Tales,” and “Heroes of the Bible.”

Originally published in 1922 as a portion of the larger “My Book House, Volume 6: The Latch Key,” this Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 16 pages, describes the life of naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, soldier, and 26th U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt.Sample passage:When he was graduated from college he decided that the real fighters of his day were the men who went into politics and used their weapons there in behalf of Justice and Fair Play, so he deliberately joined the Twenty-fifth District Republican Association.“But politics are so low,” said his aristocratic friends with their noses in the air. “And political organizations are not controlled by gentlemen, but by saloon keepers, streetcar conductors and the like!”“Very well,” replied Theodore with emphasis. “If saloon keepers and streetcar conductors are the men who are governing the United States, and lawyers and merchants are merely the ones being governed, then decidedly saloon keepers and streetcar conductors are the ones I want to know.” And off he went to attend meetings of the Association in a great barnlike hall over a saloon in 59th Street. Joe Murray, a stockily built Irishman with a strong chin and twinkling eyes who had come to America steerage at the age of three, might not be so romantic as an old Norse Viking but he was a good fighter when it came to doing battle with the Political Ring and its “Big Boss” who had governed the Twenty-fifth District in their own interests for years. Young Roosevelt joined forces with Joe Murray, standing vehemently for whatever he deemed was right, and the first thing he knew he had defeated the Big Boss and his Ring and was elected a member of the New York State Assembly. There he was distinguishing himself for attacks on many corrupt practices that needed reforming when the death of his wife in 1883 sent him West to Chimney Butte.About the author:Olive Beaupré Miller (1883-1968) was an American author, publisher, and editor of books for children.
