This Country of Ours: The Story of the United States of America by H. E. Marshall Pdf

H. E. Marshall's lively and spectacular history of the United States from its tumultuous inception through to World War I is available anew in this comprehensive edition. Using her wealth of experience as a historian of nations, H. E. Marshall set out in 1917 to chronicle North America's history from the colonial era onward. Rather than opt for a straightforward chronological exploration of the USA's evolution and growth as a nation, Marshall instead opted to tell stories peculiar to each of the regions, as well as events with important ramifications for the entire country. The book is therefore divided into seven principal parts, each of which contains numerous chapters that relate a particular episode of American history. Marshall begins with the colonial period and the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus, and thereafter details the arrival of the British, then the French and Spanish, to North American shores.

This Country of Ours the Story of the United States by H. E. Marshall Pdf

Four years have come and gone since first you asked me to write a Story of the United States lest you should grow up knowing nothing of your own country. I think, how ever, that you are not yet very grown up, not yet too proud and great to read my book. But I hope that you know something already of the history of your own coun try. For, after all, you know, this is only a play book. It is not a book which you need knit your brows over, or in which you will find pages of facts, or politics, and long strings of dates. But it is a book, I hope, which when you lay it down will make you say, I'm glad that I was born an American. I'm glad that I can salute the stars and stripes as my flag. Yes, the flag is yours. It is in your keeping and in that of every American boy and girl. It is you who in the next generation must keep it flying still over a people free and brave and true, and never in your lives do aught to dim the shining splendour of its, silver stars.

This Country of Ours by Henrietta Marshall Pdf

The story of the United States. At once story and history, this accurate, painstaking and alluring book is an inspiration to youth to cherish those ideals we have attained and are now fighting to preserve. "Mr. Marshall has written a long-needed history story of our own country. Americans are so frequently reminded their country is still in the making that they easily believe it is without a background vivid with the color and romance of adventure in a new land. Yet two-thirds of this book is devoted to thrilling stories of explorers and pioneers in Virginia, New England, the middle and southern colonies and regions traversed by the French in America, and to stories of the struggle for liberty. The remainder relates in briefer form the story of the United States under the constitution, brought down to the time of the great war. The pleasing story side of the history of our country minus the tiresome influence of dates, politics and facts will enliven many an hour for young Continent readers who like true stories." -The Continent "The book appears to be in the main historically accurate." -Springfield Republican "American history told in story form for boys and girls. Begins with the coming of the Vikings and ends with entrance of United States into the war." -Publishers Weekly "These are days when children should be reading most carefully the history of their own country. American children particularly should be studying most thoughtfully the grand traditions of the United States. From 1776 onward there is the glorious story of liberty and freedom - the development of democracy and the advancement of good government. In fact, there has been no time in the history of our own country when children, and grown-ups as well for that matter, should more seriously take account of their heritage - should realize through what travail their forefathers passed and this country should be free and permanently free. That such a study and review be rendered interesting and alluring - that history be made instructive yet romantic - this is the task that H. E. Marshall has once again successfully accomplished in 'This Country of Ours' - an accurate, painstaking, fascinating book that is at once story and history - that becomes an inspiration to youth to cherish those ideals we have attained and to see to it that they are preserved that their children may read of the glorious achievements of the children of these days." -The Publishers' Trade List Annual

Land of Hope by Wilfred M. McClay Pdf

For too long we’ve lacked a compact, inexpensive, authoritative, and compulsively readable book that offers American readers a clear, informative, and inspiring narrative account of their country. Such a fresh retelling of the American story is especially needed today, to shape and deepen young Americans’ sense of the land they inhabit, help them to understand its roots and share in its memories, all the while equipping them for the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in American society The existing texts simply fail to tell that story with energy and conviction. Too often they reflect a fragmented outlook that fails to convey to American readers the grand trajectory of their own history. This state of affairs cannot continue for long without producing serious consequences. A great nation needs and deserves a great and coherent narrative, as an expression of its own self-understanding and its aspirations; and it needs to be able to convey that narrative to its young effectively. Of course, it goes without saying that such a narrative cannot be a fairy tale of the past. It will not be convincing if it is not truthful. But as Land of Hope brilliantly shows, there is no contradiction between a truthful account of the American past and an inspiring one. Readers of Land of Hope will find both in its pages.

H. E. Marshall's lively and spectacular history of the United States from its tumultuous inception through to World War I is available anew in this comprehensive edition. Using her wealth of experience as a historian of nations, H. E. Marshall set out in 1917 to chronicle North America's history from the colonial era onward. Rather than opt for a straightforward chronological exploration of the USA's evolution and growth as a nation, Marshall instead opted to tell stories peculiar to each of the regions, as well as events with important ramifications for the entire country. The book is therefore divided into seven principal parts, each of which contains numerous chapters that relate a particular episode of American history. Marshall begins with the colonial period and the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus, and thereafter details the arrival of the British, then the French and Spanish, to North American shores. Gradually, the colonies of what was to become the state of Virginia were founded amid various swashbuckling adventures. The first migration of British populations are soon rivaled by the rise of New England, wherein the Pilgrim Fathers arrived to settle upon the new and fertile lands. The Virginian and New England colonies formed the genesis of the country that was to eventually unite and revolt against British colonial administration. Yet between political upheavals, social and cultural changes are carefully chronicled by Marshall - we hear for example of the founding of Harvard University, the Salem Witch Trials, and the skirmishes between pirates and the colonialists. This trend continues throughout the 18th and 19th centuries: the founding of the United States, the writing of its Constitution, and the various conflicts on land and sea feature. Yet these are accompanied by narratives of American foreign policy, the expansion westwards, and the stories of groups as diverse as the Mormons and the gold rush prospectors. By reading this book the reader gains an appreciation of the American character which formed this diverse and varied nation. Rather than merely comment on politics and wars, Marshall weaves stories that communicate a true flavor of the United States and its affinity for pioneering, innovation, risk-taking and optimism against all odds and obstacles. Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall was a British writer and historian, who wrote a series of popular history books aimed at a younger audience. Originating from Bo'ness, Scotland, Marshall was born to a prosperous manufacturer of earthenware, and thus enjoyed an excellent standard of education in Laurel Bank boarding school in Melrose, a town on the Scottish borders.
