Carleton Series of Juveniles, by Charles Carleton Coffin
Carleton's Famous War Stories

Published by Estes & Lauriat/ Dana Estes & Co.
1. Winning His Way
2. Following the Flag
3. My Days and Nights on the Battlefield

These titles were previously published by other firms. The Estes and Lauriat first format books were published in 1880.

In 1882 Winning His Way was released in board covers as a non series volume.

The three titles were also released in the late-1890's as Carleton’s Famous War Stories. These books are bound in illuminated board covers. It is unclear as to whether they are different from the Carleton Series of Juveniles Format 2 titles. (It appears they are the same.)
