Landmark Books (series)
The Landmark Books were a children's book series published by Random House, featuring stories of significant people and events. Popular authors were commissioned to write individual volumes. The series was published from 1950 to 1970 and included 180 volumes.
David Spear, writing in the American Historical Association's news magazine, says that the series "lured an entire generation of young readers" to the history discipline, "including many of today's professional historians."
