Historical Society Seeking Early 20th Century Schoolbooks

The Historical Society of Marshall County (Iowa) wants to buy texts for our 1913 country school reenactments:

 

Gordon Readers First Book, 1910 or 1912.

 

Gordon Readers Third Book, 1910 or 1912.

 

Brooks's Readers Second Year, 1907

 

Brooks's Readers Fourth and Fifth Years, 1907

 

Please take a few minutes to dig and see if you have any of these. The authenticity of our full day reenactments, for every fourth grader in our county, will be enhanced by using these texts.
