Excerpt from Young People's History of Our Country T will be admitted that the history of no other country possesses so absorbing interest as our own. Although a New World, with no antiquity of government, science, or art, it presents the fruitage of the centuries of the Old World. Builded on the lessons and experiences of the ages, its fabric is one of marvellous strength, endurance, and wisdom. In its infancy it was hardened and made rugged by storm, by trial, by privation, and by suffering. The rigors of an unfriendly climate, the enmity of savages, the obstacle of vast primeval for ests, and the choice between perishing from the earth or hewing the road to success, developed the highest form of mental and bodily vigor. Slavery in the Old World taught the blessings of liberty in the New, and our forefathers laid the foundations broad and deep and strong and sure. The Revolution brought the nation into existence and gave it a sisterhood among the peoples of the earth. The War of 1812 was necessary to gain and hold the respect of all countries, and the Civil War cemented and uni hed the house once divided against itself. Beneath the furnace blast we underwent the pangs of transformation, and came forth purified by fire. In this broad, appreciative spirit all children should study the history of our country. Its most impressive lessn will be lost on those who read it as a mere story, without an understanding of the meaning of historical movements and events. Why did the Pilgrims leave their native land to plant their homes in the dismal solitudes of New England? Why did the Cavaliers settle in Virginia? What caused our forefathers to sever their allegiance to Great Britain, and undergo poverty, hunger. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Young People's History of the United States Before the white men came, all the people in this great country were red men with copper-colored skin and straight black hair. We call them Indians. They were a strong brave people, quick of eye and ear, great hunters and great fighters. They were a kindly people, too, to those whom they loved and trusted, but to their enemies they were very cruel.

Excerpt from Delightful Stories From American History for Young People One cannot fail to notice that within the last few years a taste for the study of American History has been rapidly growing. A pleasing feature of this tendency is, that it has reached the home as well as the school. As a usual thing, history is dry, so a book for young people ought, before all things else, be interesting. A fact pleasantly told remains fixed in the memory, while that which is learned listlessly is lost easily. There is a fundamental difference between simplicity of thought and simplicity of expression. This book is designed to meet this difference; it tells the Stories of American History as our father told them to us many years ago, in a simple and natural manner. The language makes it especially suitable for young people and even for children, while, on the other hand, it is also equally interesting to grown people. It aims to teach the history of the country by bringing out the most illustrious actors and events in it. Young people are always interested in persons and things. Biography and story for them is the natural door into history. The order of dates is usually above their reach, but the course of events and the personal achievements of an individual are delightful. So in teaching by means of biography and story, we are teaching the very alphabet of history. It gives interesting glimpses of life in early times by means of personal anecdote. The customs of foreign courts, the wigwams of the Indians, the struggles of pioneer life, the desolations of the early wars with the savages, the spinning industry, the cotton and tobacco raising, the Tea Party, the cause of negro slavery, etc., are suggested in unforgettable stories of real people. In United States History there are also materials for moral instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Primary History of the United States: The Story of Our Country for Young Folks We feel sure that all the boys and girls who read this little book will be glad to be told about the land they live in, the great country which is known as the United States. They will find it pleasant to read how, many years ago, this land was first seen by bold sailors who came across the broad Atlantic Ocean. And they will wish to learn how white men began to live here, and what they said and did, and how, step by step, they built up this great and mighty nation. All of you should be glad to learn what kind of people were found in this country, how they spent their time, and what became of them. And you should seek to know what the white men did: how they cut down the great trees, and built for themselves homes, and sent ships abroad, and in time had large cities, and broad farms, and all that makes a people great. You cannot help loving your country better when you have read the story of its wonderful growth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Pair of Blankets: War-Time History in Letters to the Young People of the South I have written A Pair of Blankets in response to the request of some young people desiring to hear accounts of battles from a soldier who had served in the field, and if possible, to aid in interesting our people in preserving the history of the Confederate War. From Colonial days to the present the South has been equal to any section of our country in patriotism and chivalry; but has not preserved her history and landmarks in a way to be truly represented before the world.

Excerpt from Young People's History of France No country has given birth to more wicked or to better men; no nation has been so pitilessly humiliated or exalted to more dizzying heights of glory. Her dreamers have turned dreams into materialities her realities have dissolved into baseless visions; she has gone down in blood and flame to the lowest depths of despair and then leaped to a height that made all the world wonder; she is great to-day and in her history are to be found lessons of absorbing interest, of amazing length and breadth and of profound and far-reaching im portance to mankind.

Excerpt from The First Book in United States History The value of biography in teaching history to young pupils is well recognized. The personal, or human, element that this form of narration adds to the text arouses the interest that is essential to the study of history. Care should be taken, however, not to overemphasize biography lest the relative importance of the in dividual and the event be misunderstood and lest the historical connection between events be lost. The biographies furnished in' this text are abundant, and they have been selected because, taken together, they cover nearly all the events of the history of our country that the young pupil need know. Wherever biography is not available, or wherever it is advisable to emphasize the event rather than the individual or to preserve a closer connection between events, the author has resorted to the ordinary form of narration. In preparing the text he has used portions of his earlier work, A Primary History of the United States. When undertaken properly the study of history is not only very useful, but is a source of delight. If the pupil, in taking up the study for the first time, can see in it the wonderful story of people who have gone before him and builded that he might live the better, he will acquire a liking for history that will abide with him in after years. To give to the young people of America not only the advantages, but the pleasure, that may be found in the study of the history of their country is the purpose of the author. With the hope that his purpose will be fulfilled, this little book is sent forth on its mission. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Stories of Later American History This book, like Stories of Early American History, follows somewhat closely the course of study prepared by the Committee of Eight, the present volume covering the topics outlined for Grade V, while the earlier one includes the material suggested for Grade IV. It was the plan of that committee to take up in these grades, largely in a biographical way, a great part Of the essential facts Of American history; and with this plan the author, who was a member of that committee, was in hearty accord. This method, it is believed, serves a double purpose. In the first place, it is the best possible way Of laying the foundation for the later and more detailed study Of United States history in the higher grammar grades by those pupils who are to continue in school; and in the second, it gives to that large number Of pupils who will leave school before the end of the Sixth grade - which is at least half Of all the boys and girls in the schools of the country - some acquaintance with the leading men and prominent events of American history. It is without doubt a great mistake to allow half of the pupils to go out from our public schools with almost no knowledge of the moral and material forces which have made this nation what it is to-day. It is an injustice to the young people themselves; it is also an injury to their country, the vigor of whose life will depend much upon their intelligent and patriotic support.
