Mexico's Man of Action
5 pp · non-fiction; biography

From his childhood witnessing his father fight for the people during Mexico's revolution, Miguel Alemán carried those ideals into his career as a lawyer and public servant, championing the rights of workers and the poor. Rising through the ranks as justice, senator, governor, and secretary of government, Alemán's dedication to reform earned him the presidency in 1946, when four times as many Mexicans voted as ever before. Now as president, he works to transform Mexico through wage increases, irrigation projects, industrial development, and strengthened ties with the United States and the world.

America's First Christmas Tree
4 pp · non-fiction; history

In 1851 Cleveland, Ohio, Pastor Henry Schwan sets off a firestorm of controversy when he decorates a Christmas tree in his church—a custom so unfamiliar to Americans that neighbors view it as heathenish worship. Determined to prove the tree's legitimacy, he launches a months-long search across the country, eventually discovering that a German immigrant in nearby Wooster had brought the tradition to America just a few years earlier. This true account traces how a pastor's conviction and a community's curiosity helped establish a beloved American Christmas custom.

Lady Detective
4 pp · non-fiction; detective-mystery

Lt. Mary Sullivan of the New York Police Department fought to prove herself in a male-dominated force, starting with humble duties before earning her shot at real detective work. When a crucial witness clams up during an investigation, Mary's rapport and quick thinking crack the case wide open—and land her a promotion to handle her own assignment. Now she'll go undercover as a wealthy widow to trap a cunning swindler preying on rich women.

Rockets and Jets
2 pp · non-fiction; aviation

This True Comics feature traces the evolution of rocket and jet propulsion from ancient times to the modern era, exploring how steam jets powered the Greek aeolipile, how medieval inventor Joanes de Fontana designed a fish-shaped rocket vehicle, and how the technology reached new heights during World War II with weapons like the German Nebelwerfer and the American Bazooka. The story then shifts focus to cutting-edge developments: the breakthrough of jet-powered aircraft, culminating in the Shooting Star with its twin jet engines, alongside predictions that jet propulsion will soon revolutionize speed records across racing automobiles, ice yachts, and speedboats.

1.5 pp · non-fiction
The Railroad Industry
5 pp · non-fiction; history

Track-laying crews race across America in this sweeping history of railroad expansion, from the earliest steam engines that skeptics doubted could outrun horses, to the transcontinental achievement that linked the nation at Promontory Point in 1869. Through the heroic efforts of pioneers and engineers, and the legendary sacrifice of a fireman like Casey Jones, the railroads transformed from a "newfangled gadget" into the backbone of American industry and the vital lifeline that carried the country through World War II and beyond.

The Charging Zebra
3 pp · non-fiction; military

During the colonial wars of 1794, Captain Robert Faulknor and General Charles Grey devise a daring night assault on Fort St. Louis in Martinique—sailing the British man-of-war *Zebra* directly at the French-held coastal fort under cover of darkness. With cutlasses and pistols drawn, the crew launches a fierce assault from the water's edge, fighting through the night to claim the strategic stronghold and secure the island for Britain.
