Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Children In the conviction that the freshest and most direct writings are those which most appeal to children of every age, this volume and its three companions have been prepared. The books are made up of sources, but not of sources in the garb of three centuries ago, unfamiliar to modern children. The language and spelling have been freely altered, while the thought has been preserved. Much has been omitted, but it has not been the intention to add any statement not expressed in the original. If children are interested in this book, it will be because their ancestors were interesting, and not because a modern mind has invented a story for them. History has been taken in its large sense, as a record of the life of the people, and hence many descriptions of manners and customs have been included. While long narratives in general had to be avoided, the lack of verse is due simply to the fact that colonial poetry is in general too rugged or too stupid for children, and cannot be modernized. In later volumes verse will appear more freely. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Colonial Children These letters are planned to give an idea of how life in some of the representative American colonies might have seemed to children, not necessarily the children of 1607 or 1733, as it may be, for, save in the case of one or two colonies, material for such precision of delineation is utterly lacking, but to the child mind rather than the adult mind. I have aimed at historical accuracy except in regard to the language employed. To sprinkle the pages with seventeenth-century phrases would have been a simple matter; but to reproduce with any degree of verisimilitude the familiar parlance of the children of three centuries ago would have been impossible. It seemed wiser, therefore, to trust to modern English and not attempt what must at best have been only an unsatisfactory imitation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Colonial Days It is my hope that children as well as grown folk will find in these pages much to interest them in the accounts of the llfe of children of olden times. I have had this end constantly in my mind, though I have made no attempt, nor had 1 any intent, to write in a style for the perusal of children; for I have not found that intelligent children care much 'or long for such hooks, except in the very rare cases of the few great hooks that have heen written for children, and which are loved and read as much hy the old as hy the young.

Download or read book The Story of the Thirteen Colonies Classic Reprint written by Hélène Adeline Guerber and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Thirteen Colonies This book is intended as an historical reader, an elementary text-book in the history of our country, or as an introduction or supplement to any of the excellent text-books on the history of the United States now in use. The aim has been not only to interest children in the great men of their own country, but to stimulate them to the cultiva tion of the lofty virtues of which they read, and to instil within their hearts a deep love for their native land. All the main facts in our early history have been given as sim ply and vividly as possible, and the lessons of patriotism, truth fulness, courage, patience, honesty, and industry taught by the lives of our principal heroes are carefully enforced. Great pains have also been taken to relate all the well-known anecdotes and quote the famous speeches which are so frequently alluded to in our current literature. Although this book ends with the Revolutionary War, the story of our country is continued on the same lines in a companion volume entitled The Story of the Great Republic; yet each book is independent of the other and can be used separately. So simply worded as to be easily intelligible to average children of ten or twelve years of age, the text is further arranged in short paragraphs, to facilitate its use as a reader in large classes.

Download or read book Child Life in Colonial Western Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Percy Burdelle Caley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Colonial Western Pennsylvania In such a situation children were much to be desired, if for no other reason than to provide a labor supply. For, isolated as they were, where land could be had for the taking, few if any men could be hired as laborers even if the father could have found the wherewithal to pay them. Under such conditions the sons became the helpers of their fathers, both in hunting and farming; while the girls aided their mothers in gardening, spinning and other household duties. But the most important part played by children in the frontier days was not in the role of laborers. They were rather the incentives which spurred their parents on to de sire better conditions. In the first place, more land had to be claimed and cleared to provide nearby farms where sons and daughters might live when grown. In the second place, the old cabin had to give way to a bigger, better and more comfortable log-house to shelter adequately their yet small brood. In the third place, a desire was created for safer surroundings for these children: the Indians had to be driv en back to parts where they would cease to be a menace to these new communities; and the Law had to be called in to deal with the roysterers of the border. In the fourth place, better communications had to be established with the out side world in order that the children might learn to know more of the country to which they belonged, and that cer tain comforts might be brought in to vary the monotony of their lives. And lastly, parents became impressed with the need for the establishment of some means of education, so that sooner or later there appeared that characteristic feature of American life, the school. Thus, in the course of a few years, the aspect of the community was changed. Around the group of old log cabins and the stockade fort where traders and hunters had stopped to rest, swap tales and drink healths, there grew up a peaceful and substantial farming community, with less of the passing nature about it. With the coming of the children, therefore, the frontier, as such, gradually moved farther westward while in its place a quiet and law abiding countryside appeared.
