Bert Breen's Barn

Walter D. Edmonds

A young man attempts to claim ownership to an old barn rumored to contain hidden treasure. Tom gets the idea into his head that he would like to buy the barn some day and move it down to his own family’s land, some seven miles away. The story builds to an exciting conclusion with the reconstruction of the entire barn and a sudden and unexpected answer to young Tom’s dreams.

The Matchlock Gun

Walter D. Edmonds

In 1756, New York State was still a British colony, and the French and the Indians were constant threats to Edward and his family. When his father was called away to watch for a raid from the north, only Edward was left to protect Mama and little Trudy. His father had shown him how to use the huge matchlock gun, an old Spanish gun that was twice as long as he was, but would Edward be able to handle it if trouble actually came?
