This page advertises "American Fights and Fighters," a six-volume patriotic book series by Cyrus Townsend Brady, published during World War I. The advertisement uses heroic narratives of American military history to stir nationalist fervor. The text celebrates two historical episodes: Davy Crockett at the Alamo fighting Mexican forces (described using the racial slur "Greasers"), and thirty-two American cavalry troops defeating three thousand Sioux warriors at Piney Island. These stories frame American military superiority despite numerical disadvantage—a rhetorical move aimed at 1917 readers as America entered WWI against Germany (referenced as "the Hun"). The advertisement pairs these historical narratives with a facsimile Declaration of Independence to link past American "liberty" fights with present patriotic duty. The $1.00 price point and subscription coupon indicate a mass-market appeal designed to spread nationalist ideology during wartime. The page conflates westward expansion and Indian warfare with defending "human rights."

How An Aimerienn Fights Twenty Greasers bit the dust before this lone American —sole survivor of one hundred and eighty who for eleven days held at bay five. thousand Mexicans led by the treacherous, blood-thirsty Anna, Nearly one thousand of the foe already lay rigid in death out&ide the walls of the Alamo before the unerring aim of its handful of defenders. Backed against a wall, using the keen, death-dealing “Betsy” as an iron war club, the old frontiersman still hurls defiance at his enemies as they swarm about him, leaping like hounds upon a great stag. Yells, curses and groans rise from the stricken Mexican soldiers as he piles them in contorted heaps before him. But numbers tell. They pull him down, bury their bayonets in his great heart, spurn him, trample upon him, spit upon him. Thus died “Davy” Crockett, typical American, author of the famous motto, “Be sure you're right, then go ahead,” one of that numerous band of American fighters in the cause of human liberty whose inspiring stories are so splendidly told by Cyrus Townsend Brady in this Vew Edition of AMERICAN FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS—PATRIOT'S EDITION Thirty-two Against Three re Given to Prompt Subscribers Thousand =| A Copy of the Greatest Fighting Docu- . a » ment Ever Penned by Man Let not the Hun lay the flattering unc- 2 i tion to his confident soul that inferiority.in : The Declaration of Independence numbers is a serious drawback to the Amer- J Certified af by the late John Hay, ican fighting man.
