Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primary History of the United States Before the white man came the Indians had dogs, but no sheep, horses, or cattle. They used no tools of iron or steel. They lived in clans that were made up of all the families descended from a common female ancestor. A number of clans formed a tribe. A symbol, or totem, such as a wolf or a bear, was the mark of the clan, and its members believed that the spirit of the animal chosen as the totem watched over them. The Indians had a belief in a number of mysterious spirits called manitos, 1 which they feared or venerated. They had, however, no belief in a single Great Spirit or Supreme Deity.

Download or read book The First Book in United States History Classic Reprint written by Waddy Thompson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States During recent years there has been much written and much said about making the study of history and civics in the ele mentary schools something more than committing to memory dates, facts and events. Many newspapers and educational journals and many of those educators Who talk publicly on school questions have criticised severely the results secured from the time devoted to history and civics in the grammar schools. The method used and the lack of proper preparation on the part of the teacher have been held responsible for the poor results secured in these subjects. It has been customary to hold the teacher responsible for the method used and for her poor preparation, and thus to place the entire blame on her. Many have promptly and justly replied that they cannot be expected to expend from two to three thousand dollars in securing a higher education for the purpose of receiving the small salaries paid in the elementary schools. They have also replied - and this is even more to the point - that not being specialists in history and civics, they cannot, With any degree of success, teach these subjects by the topical method When every grammar school history text-book in print adopts, almost entirely, the cut and-dried chronological-event method. In relation to all these conditions, special attention is called to the fact that in this book the topical treatment is used Without any reserve What ever. No teacher can use this book as a text-book and use any other than the topical method, and no pupil can study this book without becoming interested in the real spirit of our history and having cultivated in him the desire to perform to the best of his ability the duties of American citizenship.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary History of the United States Histories of the United States of America have been many times written, and in many ways; so often, indeed, that some might deem there was nothing more to say, or no new way of saying it. Yet new histories are of yearly appearance, and the world does not seem tired of welcoming them. These are usually written for the old; but why not new histories for the young? - who can certainly find no more profitable reading than the story of the origin and development of their own country. No romance, in fact, can possess more of interest and adventure, of heroic efforts and noble deeds, than may be found in the history of the discovery and settle ment of the American continent, and the birth and growth of the great republic of the United States. In all the annals of mankind there is little to surpass it in interest, and nothing in importance. To the youthful American, indeed, it is indispensable, and whatever else he may learn, a full and accurate acquaintance with the story of his own land should stand first in his course of study, as a requisite preliminary to the making of an American citizen.

Download or read book A Primary History in the United States written by John Bach McMaster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primary History in the United States This book has been written in the belief that a primary history of the United States should be short, as interesting as possible, and well illustrated; that it should be a narrative of events, not a series of biographical sketches; that it should touch on all matters of real importance in the founding and building of our country; and that it should leave unnoticed such questions as are beyond the understanding of the pupils for whose use it is intended. Those who leave school after but one years work in history will thus obtain a fair general knowledge of so much of our history as every American ought to be ashamed not to know, while those who pursue the study further will have made a good beginning. The illustrations are historically authentic. Such pictures are far more valuable than imaginary ones, and it is believed that in this book, as in the School History, they will be found to be more interesting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abridged History of the United States: Or Republic of America The leading objects of the author of this work, have been to give the events of the history with clearness and accuracy; with such illustrations of time and place addressed to the eye, as shall secure their retention in the memory; and, at the same time, with such an order of arrangement, as will enable the mind to recall, at need, what it thus retains. This we regard as important, not only with respect to this particular study; but as rightly laying out the ground-plan of the intellect, so far as the whole range of history is concerned. We have endeavoured to make the book convenient, - by side notes with dates, - by numbered paragraphs of suitable length for reading classes, - and by questions on each paragraph, placed at the bottom of the page. These questions are so put, that youthful teachers may avail themselves of the author's long experience, to acquire a manner of questioning, which, while it is not obscure, will yet oblige the pupil to think, and which will bring into relief prominent points. We have, indeed, been desirous to cultivate the memory, the intellect, and the taste. But much more anxious have we been to sow the seeds of virtue, by showing the good in such amiable lights, that the youthful heart shall kindle into desires of imitation. And we have been careful to give clear conceptions of those deeds, which are proper to imitate; while, with regard to bad actions, we have, as far as possible, given the result, rather than the detail.
