The Beginner's American History

Book cover
This book has been specifically formated for the Amazon Kindle reader. We did our best to take advantage of all the features of the kindle to maximize your reading experience with this book. Its object is to present clearly and accurately those facts and principles in the lives of some of the chief founders and builders of America which would be of interest and value to pupils beginning the study of our history. Throughout the book great care has been taken to relate only such incidents and anecdotes as are believed to rest on unexceptionable authority. The numerous illustrations in the text are, in nearly every case, from drawings and designs made by Miss C. S. King of Boston. Few text-books have met with such immediate recognition as this. Though published late in the summer of 1890, it was, within a few months, adopted by such cities as Philadelphia, Chicago, Providence, R.I., Burlington, Vt., Lynn, Mass., by counties, and by numberless institutions. It seems to be regarded by the best judges as, on the whole, the best school history of the United States yet published. It was written and not simply compiled. The author did not take it for granted that a history of our country must be a perfunctory work made up from previous histories and merely iterating an old set of facts, ideas, and stories. The book is a panorama of the leading events of our history, with their causes and results clearly traced. Attention has been given to all the departments of American life and activity. It describes the development of the American people. The author's broad and liberal sympathies saved him from sectarian, sectional, or partisan views. The style is full of life, and the words can all be understood by the pupils for whom the book is designed. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
