ABOUT THE WE WERE THERE SERIES (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
The We Were There books are a series of historical novels written for children. The series consists of 36 titles, first released between 1955 and 1963 by Grosset & Dunlap. Each book in the series is a fictional retelling of an historical event, featuring one or more children as primary characters. The books were written by a number of different authors, each writing from one to seven of the books. Each book's byline also lists a separate "historical consultant", who was a specialist in the historic topic covered by that particular book. 

The dust jackets of the original printings of the books describe the series as follows: We Were There books are easy to read and provide exciting, entertaining stories, based upon true historic events. Each story is checked for factual accuracy by an outstanding authority on this particular phase of our history. Though written simply enough for young readers, they make interesting reading for boys and girls well into their teens.
