When We Destroyed the Gaspee: a Story of Narragansett Bay in 1772, by James Otis
Dana Estes, 1901
Sacker apparently
did bindings for a number of Otis (a pseudonym for James Otis Kaler)
titles, involving eagles and other patriotic symbols.In fact, this title comes
in two distinct Sacker bindings--the other one I have seen is a blue version
of the cover for An
Island Refuge. I have identified at least twenty-four Otis titles with Sacker
designs, but there may be more, as Otis wrote over 150 books for children!
See below for a color variant of this cover.
