Label TextLucy Foster's four books about the young Quaker girl Peggy Owen during the American Revolution are still referred to as "girl series," tales that featured girls in starring and sometimes heroic roles. Like his teacher Howard Pyle, Henry Peck took care to create a historically correct scene in setting and costume.
