|  | The Matchlock Gun by Paul Lantz, Walter D. Edmonds
Set in the Hudson Valley of New York State in 1756 (when New York was still a British colony), this is the true story of the Van Alstyne family. When Mr. Van Alstyne is called away from home, he enlists the help of his 10-year-old son, Edward, to protect the family from Indian raids. He entrusts Edward with a matchlock gun, which must be set off with a flame since it does not use flint to set off the gunpowder charge. But when faced with a raid, Edward depends not only upon the gun, but also upon his mother and young sister. Illustrated with b&w drawings. Winner of the 1942 Newbery Medal.
