Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire State: A Compendious History of the Commonwealth of New York Several years ago the author of this work received a letter from the late Hon. Horatio Seymour, urging him to supply a conspicuous literary want by writing a compendious history of the State of New York, and illustrating it after the manner of his Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution. No work of the kind was then in existence, nor has there been since. It has been the chief aim of the author, in the preparation of this work, to embody in one volume, of moderate size and price, a complete outline narrative of the principal events in the career of the Commonwealth of New York from its inception to the close of the first century of our Republic (1875), so compact, as a whole, that its purchase and perusal will not burden the purses or the leisure of a vast proportion of our people. As much space has been given to notices of historic events outside of the State of New York as seemed necessary to continually present the Commonwealth to the mind of the reader as a most important part of the great Republic of the West.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of the Empire State The chaptefg of this book consist, in the main, of the narration of epochal events in the growth of New York State. They do not constitute a connected history; indeed, it is doubtful if such a history has any place Whatever in juvenile literature.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honors of the Empire State in the War of the Rebellion A careful study of the records of the War of the Rebellion, long since convinced the author and compiler of this volume that due credit had never been given to the sacrifices and sufferings, the patriotism and devotion of the Empire State in the great struggle for preserving the Union. The conspicuous part taken by New York in all the great movements of the war; her magnificent contributions to the armies of the Union; her hearty cooperation in all the financial measures of the Government; her generous aid in alleviating the miseries of the conflict, - these things were, of course, known, and had been in many ways recorded and commented upon. But no single and intelligent effort had thus far been made to bring all the facts together in a compact form, or to present concisely the brilliant record made by the State in the various forms of activity necessary to the suppression of the Rebellion. It is the aim of the author to give just that general glance at New York's share in the honors and privations of the struggle, and to show briefly, but decisively, what a conspicuously honorable and glorious part she had in the triumph of the Union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Progress of the Empire State, Vol. 1: A Work Devoted to the Historical, Financial, Industrial, and Literary Development of New York; New York State and City The predominance of New York in the American Union at the beginning of our history would not have signified much in comparison with larger cities in other countries. When Wall Street marked the upper limits of the thickly settled portion of the city, and aristocratic farms were found in the neighborhood of Washington Square, New York was a negligible factor in the finance of the world. She was over shadowed by London, Paris, Berlin, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Vienna, Frankfort, and other centers of the ten century old civilization of Europe. To-day, only one city in the world surpasses New York in population; only two compete with her in the magnitude of their enterprises, the completeness of their commercial machinery, and the ac cumulation of wealth which is reflected in their brilliant cosmopolitan life.

Download or read book Empire of Liberty written by Gordon S. Wood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, two New York Times bestsellers, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. Now, in the newest volume in the series, one of America's most esteemed historians, Gordon S. Wood, offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic, ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. As Wood reveals, the period was marked by tumultuous change in all aspects of American life--in politics, society, economy, and culture. The men who founded the new government had high hopes for the future, but few of their hopes and dreams worked out quite as they expected. They hated political parties but parties nonetheless emerged. Some wanted the United States to become a great fiscal-military state like those of Britain and France; others wanted the country to remain a rural agricultural state very different from the European states. Instead, by 1815 the United States became something neither group anticipated. Many leaders expected American culture to flourish and surpass that of Europe; instead it became popularized and vulgarized. The leaders also hope to see the end of slavery; instead, despite the release of many slaves and the end of slavery in the North, slavery was stronger in 1815 than it had been in 1789. Many wanted to avoid entanglements with Europe, but instead the country became involved in Europe's wars and ended up waging another war with the former mother country. Still, with a new generation emerging by 1815, most Americans were confident and optimistic about the future of their country. Named a New York Times Notable Book, Empire of Liberty offers a marvelous account of this pivotal era when America took its first unsteady steps as a new and rapidly expanding nation.
