Winston Adventure
Books were published between 1952 and 1956 and were, according to the publisher, "a series of tales based on the little-known incidents and nearly forgotten
lives of unsung heroes that helped shape history. Each book--with all the entertainment
value of a good novel--tells a story that is fresh, and, though not adequately
covered in histories, has been thoroughly documented and is authentic in every
detail.
These are "true
tales of blazing adventure, action, and suspense."
