This Country of Ours the Story of the United States (Classic Reprint) by H. E. Marshall Pdf

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

This book tells the history of the United States, starting with European explorers rather than the Native Americans who had been inhabiting the region we now name North America for generations. The book describes the achievements of the brave, clever, and powerful men (and a few women) who founded the colonies that later developed into the states that eventually gave rise to the current nation.In general, it paints the Native Americans as barbaric, uncivilized, and vicious. As you read, consider why it could be crucial for a white lady of European ancestry to write for children in England or the US to view Native Americans in this manner. What does it reveal about the people, the country, and the terrain at the time? H.E. Marshall, the author, wrote from a Protestant point of view. Nothing in her writing implies that she intentionally set to be anti-Catholic, but it is clear that her Protestant background and her sense of the truth had an impact on her writing. The advantages of adopting this book exceed any drawbacks, which can be quickly resolved by debate and careful editing.

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.

A Short History of the United States (Classic Reprint) by Edward Chaning Pdf

Excerpt from A Short History of the United States The aim of this little book is to tell in a simple and con cise form the story of the founding and development of the United States. The study of the history of one's own country is a serious matter, and should be entered upon by the text-book writer, by the teacher, and by the pupil in a serious spirit, even to a greater extent than the study of language or of arithmetic. No effort has been made, therefore, to make out of this text-book a story book. It is' a'-text-book pure and simple, and should be used as a text-book; to be studied' diligently by the pupil and expounded carefully by the teacher.

The Story of Our Country by Alma Holman Burton Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of Our Country: A Primary History of the United States It is the aim of this little book to awaken such an abiding personal interest in the story of our country, that the after-study in the more advanced history of the United States may be a pleasant task. The author has attempted, without undue boasting, to show how the many feeble colonies, remote from each other and planted under such different circumstances, united at length through common perils and sufferings to form the foun dation of a national structure so broad and so firm that when the strain of revolution, and even of rebellion, came, it survived the shock. She has endeavored to keep well to the front the great central idea of the nation's develop ment from the time when the first discoverers peered through the mists of an unknown sea, down to to-day, when our nation has taken its place among the first powers of the earth. The author has sketched many of the thrilling and picturesque biographies which are always such an unfailing source of delight to the child.

America First by Lawton B. Evans Pdf

Excerpt from America First: One Hundred Stories From Our Own History When children advance beyond the nursery age, no story is so wonderful as a true story. Fiction to them is never as appealing as fact. I have often been faced with the inquiry: whether or not a story is a true one. The look of gratification, when told that it actually happened, was most satisfying to me as a story-teller. The nearer a story is to the life and traditions of the child, the more eagerly it is attended. True stories about our own people, about our neighbors and friends, and about our own country at large, are more interesting than true stories of remote places and people. We naturally are interested in our own affairs, and the nearer they are to us the greater the interest we feel.

The Plain Story of American History (Classic Reprint) by John Spencer Bassett Pdf

Excerpt from The Plain Story of American History My purpose in writing this book is expressed in the title. I wish that it may be a plain story of the achievement of human beings in that part of the Western Hemisphere which is now the United States of America. To relate the main facts clearly and broadly, rather than to describe many detailed occurrences, has been constantly in my mind. The story here presented may be taken as an introduction for a wider study of our history. It has been my aim to use simple but strong language, and to place the emphasis of the book on human actions. But much attention has been given to social history, and in two chapters the outlines of American government have been presented. I hope the book will prove neither hard nor easy for pupils. If it is received as a straightforward story, drawing forth the earnest efforts of capable pupils and making for the success of faithful teachers, it will be a source of pleasure for the author, repaying him for many days and nights of careful study of our national history. More especially, I wish that the book may serve, along with many other excellent works of similar scope, to give to the American youth a better appreciation of the glorious history of their native land, and to create in them a warmer purpose to serve their country and promote its progress. With the hope of making the task of the teacher lighter, the chapters have been made short and an abundance of marginal headings has been introduced. On the basis of these headings complete outlines can be made by the pupils, which, when studied under the chapter headings, will give the pupil good topical grasp of the subject.

A History of the United States (Classic Reprint) by John P. O'Hara Pdf

Excerpt from A History of the United States This volume aims to present the story of American history in a form which will engage the interest of pupils in the upper grades of the elementary schools. It will be found that a considerable amount of material of traditional interest, but of small intrinsic importance, has been omitted in order that a fuller emphasis might be placed on events and move ments of greater significance. Following the best teaching opinion, the volume deals constantly with the causal rela tions of historical events, due regard being had for the capacity of the pupils who will use the book. The wealth of illustrations and the many excellent maps with which the publishers have enriched the volume greatly enhance its value for school use.
