Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced American History The three greatest achievements of the American people have been these: they have transformed a continent from a low condition of barbarism to a high state of civilization they have developed a commercial and industrial system of vast proportions; and they have evolved the greatest democracy the world has yet seen. In this text, therefore, it has been my aim to present fully and clearly these three aspects of our growth: to Show the forces of civilization pressing ever west ward upon the wilderness and extending the boundaries of the white man's domain; to Show an industrious and ingenious people moving ever forward to make new conquests in the economic world; and to show a liberty-loving nation struggling with new problems of government and advancing ever nearer to a complete realization of popular rule.

Download or read book A Topical Analysis of Advanced American History With Library References for Teachers and Students Classic Reprint written by Jesse Lewis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Topical Analysis of Advanced American History With Library References for Teachers and Students A comprehensive study of history includes more than the mere description of a people's achievements or progress; it also includes a study of the conditions that made possible certain achievements, and the means used to attain certain results. The study of history is not to learn facts simply as facts, but to understand the causes and results of the great movements in the life of a people. Such a study of history cannot be made by the use of one brief text-book; outside reading is neces sary. A nation's history cannot be told in a few hun dred pages, hence the text-book must be supplemented by the use of reference books. The number need not be large; a few well selected volumes will answer. The Topical Analysis is meant to both assist in gaining a comprehensive understanding of history, and to direct the reading outside the text-book used by the class. A trial of this plan of the study of history will soon con Vince any teacher and class of its merits over the one book method. The use of a well selected library adds interest to the work, both in the preparation of the les son and in the recitation. The library references given do not pretend to be exhaustive, but consist of the best High School text-books and the smaller reference books.

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.

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 2017-11-29 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of American History for Elementary Schools Some sort of a first book on American history is now quite generally used in schools as a preparation for the more intelligent study of a larger and more formal text-book in the higher grammar grades. For beginners, a mere compilation of facts is dry and unsatisfactory. Such books have now given place, for the most part, to those prepared on a more attractive and judicious plan. The real aim in a first book should be to interest boys and girls in the history of their country, and to encourage them to cultivate a taste for further study and reading. This book is intended for use in the earlier grammar grades and to be preliminary to the study of a more advanced work in the higher grades. The author has also kept in mind the fact that the school life of many children is brief, and that all their instruction in Amer ican history must come from a text-book of this kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Advance: A Study in Territorial Expansion One of the great tragedies of human history is the story of the glory and of the fall of the Em pire of Spain. Coeval with its decline has been the growth and upbuilding of the great Republic of the West; and over much of the vast territory which once owned the sway of Charles and of Philip now floats the flag of the United States. The Republic, indeed, may be said to have been erected upon the ruins of the Empire; for, from the Mississippi and the Gulf, to th3%cific, or in East, there 15 not a foot of soil save in the vast region of the great N orthwest - over which has not floated, above mountain and plain alike, the red and gold banner of Spain. The causes which have led to the ruin of a once powerful empire are for the historian to discuss; the pages which follow are offered as material, perhaps, for his use in the study of some phases of the great tragedy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New American History and Government Outlines History is the study of the life of a people. "History is the biography of a society." "History is the essence of innumerable biographies." "Through the ages one increasing purpose runs." "The present is the fruit of the past and the germs of the future." "History knows not if, and might have been is a form of words unwritten in her book of phrases." - Ridpath. Europe Before the Discovery of America Peoples supposed to have visited America before 1492: Chinese, Egyptians. Phoenicians and Greeks. Northmen, 1000. Events hindering further visits: Invasions of Goths, Vandals and Huns, 350 to 476. Establishment of new nations. Conquest among nations. Lack of geographical knowledge. Causes leading to a revival of interest in new lands: Commercial ambition. Religious zeal. The crusades. The renaissance. What ancient Europe sent to the East: Metals, wood, pitch, woolen cloth, linen, black lead, wine and glassware. What ancient Europe brought from the East: Silks, cotton cloth and other fine dry goods. Dye woods and drugs. Precious stones and ivory. Spices and perfumes. Cities which controlled trade with the East: Venice, by way of the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Indian ocean. Genoa, by way of Bosporus and Black Sea, and then by caravan to the East. Antioch, by way of Euphrates valley and Persian gulf. What changed trade routes: In 1453 the Turks captured Constantinople and refused to let the ships of other nations pass through the Bosporus. This closed Genoa's route, gave Venice a monopoly and made a new route desirable. New routes tried: Passage around Africa by Diaz, a Portuguese sailor, who succeeded in sailing around the south cape, which he named Cape of Storms, but the name was changed to Cape of Good Hope by King John of Portugal. Columbus' plan: To sail west until he reached China or India. "The great canon of history is its continuity."

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods and Outlines in United States History Now why should we study history at all? First, it possesses the greatest guidance value among the several branches. There is much truth in the old saying, History repeats itself, and that ages differ more in kind than in degree. Where one age develops a fact of civilization in a certain way, or works out an advanced position for man, it will do it much the same way another time. There are certain inevitable truths controlling the ages, and when an age repeats itself, the corre sponding truth will be found leading its move ments. The things that killed Greece would kill America; the force that united the world under Rome, would unite the world again. The ele ments that destroyed Rome, would destroy any empire in any age. A late profound scholar and historian has said The present is the fruit Of the past, and the germ of the future. NO work can stand unless it grows out Of the real wants Of the age and strikes firm root in the soil Of history. No one who tramples on the rights Of a past gen cration can claim the regard of its posterity History will disregard him who disregards her. Set at naught the lessons Of history, and no man shall wield any lasting influence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American History Classic Reprint written by Lewis W. Newton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History Not a great deal depends upon the form of notation used in an outline, provided the form adopted is consistently followed, and provided further that it may be easily comprehended and followed by the pupil Like the use of capital letters, punctuation, inden-tion-of paragraphs, and so forth, the use of indention and notation in an outline is for purposes of mental economy. When, because of proper indention, a simple and logical notation, and a clear, definite, and suggestive wording in an historical outline, the student is enabled in the shortest possible time to form a full and correct mental connection between any given subject and the larger subject or subjects of which it is a part, the author of an outline has gone as far as possible in assisting the student's thought process. The form of notation which it has seemed best to adopt for this outline is the following: Capital let ters, capital letters in parentheses, Roman numerals, Roman numerals in parentheses, Arabic numerals, Arabic numerals in parentheses, small Roman numerals, small Roman numerals in parentheses, small letters, and small letters in parentheses. Thus: A, (a), I, (i), I, (i), i, (i) a, (a). The letters are used only where there are so few coordinate parts as not to be confusing. The author of this outline has succeeded best with this method. Another problem in outlining a course in history for class work is that of properly combining period. Or chronological analysis with subject or movement analysis. By an historical movement I mean a series of historical facts or events relating to the same subject and linked together by cause and effect: such, for in stance, as, Territorial Expansion of the United States from 1789 to the Present. By a period of history is meant a certain block of time within which a particular movement or tendency seems to predominate. The almost exclusive use of movement analysis would be preferable were the aim of the course in American history solely to reorganize and interpret facts and events already familiar to the student. But since no such familiarity exists among our students at the beginning of the course, we are {compelled to analyze the general progress of history much in the way that it actually occurred. In this outline, there fore, I have attempted, while following the development of history by periods, to adhere as much as possible to movement analysis. For this reason, I have not always followed the topical order of treatment in any textbook. Indeed, this is unnecessary either in an outline or in the recitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Literature in America When it was proposed that Wendell's Literary History 0} America should be reprinted in a school edition, it was clear to us that for such use.the book needed thorough revision. Many passages, which properly found place in a book intended for general reading, involved expressions of opinion obviously unsuitable for schools. In prepar ing this school version, our object has accordingly been to omit needless or debatable matter, but to preserve the general outline and all available portions of the original work. To aid us in our task, we submitted the Literary H is tory, chapter by chapter, to an advanced class of students at Harvard College, whom we encouraged to criticise it minutely in writing. The energy and good sense with which they did so have enabled us to correct many slight errors, and, at the same time, have strengthened our conviction that the earlier book was historically sound. We cannot too heartily acknowledge our debt to this critical collaboration of our pupils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: 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 arc interested in our own affairs, and the nearer they are to us the greater the interest we feel. That history is just a long, thrilling story of the trials and triumphs of pioneers and patriots is well known to those who have had to do with the teaching of history to youthful minds.
