Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States This textbook is based on the plan of study recommended for the seventh and eighth grades by the Committee Of Eight Of the American Historical Association. The work for the sixth grade has been given in a shorter book, entitled Introductory American History. About two-thirds Of that book concern the beginnings in Great Britain and Europe of the civilization which the people of the United States share with other peoples Of European race. The remainder contains descriptions Of the discoveries and early settlements of America, principally in the sixteenth century. This volume for the upper grades Opens with a chapter which repeats briefly the story of early discovery and settlement. The chapter may be used as a review in those schools which use the Introductory American History. Teachers who do not use that book will find in the chapter the essential facts of the period. American history is so rich and varied that the most serious ques tion which confronts the authors Of a textbook is that of selection and emphasis. If space is to be found for adequate treat ment Of the most characteristic features of our national develop ment, especially Of those within the comprehension Of the pupil Of the seventh or eighth grade, certain phases Of the political and military history Of the country must be reserved for later study.

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.

Download or read book A History the United States of America written by Robert Reid Howison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 938 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History the United States of America: Intended for Students in Schools, Academies, Colleges, Universities and at Home, and for General Readers Except in the case of the third day's battle of Gettysburg, all de tailed narratives of the battles in the War between the States are studi ously avoided. The reason for this will commend itself to any fair mind. The works and reports on the battles and movements of that war already amount to some hundreds of thousands of pages of printed matter; and their conflicts of statement are hopelessly irreconcilable. Nevertheless, some facts are proved. The student will find in this work a record of every battle and every military movement of sufficient importance to affect the result. Enough is given to show that brilliant successes may do nothing more than prolong a war, and that the cause in which they are gained may be finally overthrown; and that a series of defeats may be the agents which finally bring triumph to the cause of the belligerent sustaining them. Every war in this world has been a war of ideas, and a Divine Power has been shaping their ends. This work has no maps nor parts of maps of any kind. It is a work on history and not on geography. Whenever relative localities become impor tant in history it is best to describe them in words. Some general knowledge Of geography, and of maps illustrating it, is a necessary preliminary to the intelligent study of any history, and especially of American history; but the maps ought not to be in the book of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of United States History IN writing this book, the author has had in mind the presentation Of the essential facts in our history in a clear, brief manner, with such explanations, by means of maps, pictures, and foot-notes, as the size of the work permitted. In its preparation the pupil's point Of view and peculiar needs have been kept constantly in mind, and the author wishes to express his gratitude to Miss Ginn for her very helpful suggestions and advice. She also kindly drew many of the maps which are inserted in the text, prepared the topical reviews which follow the several divisions of the book, and devised the questions that are printed in Appendix V. He further wishes to express his Obligation to Miss Eva G. Moore for many thoughtful suggestions, and especially for her aid in the preparation Of the bio graphical notes and Of Appendix IV with its accompanying map. Bibliographies Of books of American history which are suitable for school use are now 80 plentiful that it has not seemed wise to add to the bulk of this volume by the insertion Of such lists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States of America: With an Introduction Narrating the Discovery and Settlement A dozen years ago I wrote a school history of the United States, and the test of its use has shown me wherein it was defective. My own study of history during the same period has furthermore enabled me to see how I could improve my original presentation of the subject. The present book is the result. The general structure remains the same as before; there is the same cleavage of periods, and the same interpreta tion of cause and effect in the development of the Union. But the emphasis is somewhat differently placed, and a much greater attention has been paid to that element of personality which gives vitality to all history. By biographic detail and a liberal use of portraits I have sought to interest the student in the men who have been the architects of the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beauties of American History There are many passages in the History of the United States which are peculiarly fitted to inspire in the young mind the love of country, and the admiration of what is great, heroic, and noble, in the human character; and to elevate the standard of public virtue in the juvenile breast. It has been the purpose of the author of this volume to select some of the most striking of these historical beauties, and to present them in an attractive form to the young. He has deemed it unnecessary to pay much attention to chronological order; because the history of our country is judiciously made a branch of study in the common schools; so that almost every young person is qualified to refer every event to its proper date. The moral and patriotic features of each delineation have been regarded as most attractive. The love of country and the love of virtue have been considered the most important objects in view. The youth of America have noble examples before them. May they never forget that they are the countrymen of Washington, and of -. There is a long list of worthies; but that name is enough.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Download or read book American Historical Documents 1000 1904 Classic Reprint written by Charles William Eliot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Historical Documents 1000-1904 NO final history of the United States of America has been written, or is likely to be written. Research is constantly bringing to light new facts that correct details or modify the traditional view Of larger ques tions; and the most impartial historian is subject to personal 01 sec tional bias which leads to his works being regarded as imperfect by another generation, or as unfair by the people Of parts Of the country other than his own. In such a series as the present, then, it is unwise to represent the story of the growth of this nation by the summary of any one scholar. The alternative has been to place before the reader a selection Of the most important documents which record in contemporary terms the great events in the history of the country. Beginning with the personal records of the earliest discoverers of the continent, the selection goes on to present the first attempts at organizing a machinery of government made by the first settlers Of the New England colonies; proceeds to the landmarks of the struggle for independence and the formation of the Constitution; Shows the laying Of the foundation of national policies and of the interpretation of the Constitution; indicates by the texts of the treaties themselves the acquisition of each successive increase of terri tory; and reveals by the original state papers the main causes and effects Of the wars in which the country has from time to time been engaged. Read in succession, these documents afford a condensed view of the politiml progress Of the American people; freed from any prejudice save that which swayed the makers of the history themselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Element in the War of American Independence The following pages make no pretension to original research. They are founded on the ad mirable monographs of Doctor Friedrich Kapp, for many years an honored member of the New York bar and now an active member of the Im perial Assembly of his native Germany. Dur ing his residence in the United States, Doctor Kapp made special studies in the history of the Germans in America, and especially of those whose names have passed into American history. The result was the lives of Steuben and Kalb, and the history of those unfortunate men whose blood was shed to gratify the avarice of their sovereign; one of the darkest chapters in the history of wicked rulers. From these sources I have drawn freely in preparing this new tribute to the history of my country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Element in Two Great Crises of American History, 1776-1861 The author of this little pamphlet does not claim to have made any new contribution to the subject herein treated. He is not a professional historian and has done very little in the way of original research. He has depended very largely upon the work of those who are historians by calling especially upon Dr. Bernhardt Faust, author of a great work on The German Element in America, to whom he hereby wishes to acknowledge his great indebtedness. Indeed, the author frankly acknowledges that he has not only borrowed much of his matter from Dr. Faust, but in some cases has even given his 'ipsissima verba.

Democracy is a political arrangementfdealing, like all political arrangements, with the shallower interests of man.

Download or read book New American History for Grammar Schools written by Marguerite Stockman Dickson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New American History for Grammar Schools: In Three Parts, I. From the Old World to the New; II. The Birth of the Nation; III. The Nation's Life and Progress But you must remember that so great a thing as the discovery of a new world was not accomplished by one man alone, nor was it accomplished in the single day when Columbus first saw land after his long voyage. Sometimes we' think of it as if a great curtain had been rolled away from before the eyes of Columbus, disclosing the whole continent of America; so that he had only to go home and tell the king of Spain that the New World was discovered. This is a very wrong idea. We must look back many years before the time of Columbus to find the beginning of the great work, and we must study on to a time many years after his death before we can say that Europe had really found America. Years of toil, great sums of money, the suffering and death of many brave men, were necessary before the work was done. And even then it took centuries more to find What the new continent was like, to settle it with white people, and to make it useful to the world.
