Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Our Country's History The extension of the study of United States History the lower grades of our schools has suggested the need of a class-book fitted to their wants. Of histories which the child may read by the mother's knee there is no lack; but this is not what is required for school study, which must not only convey impressions, but impart a certain amount of available knowledge. In the present manual, the author has sought to supply this want. In doing so, he has aimed at two things as desirable: - The first is, to bring out to prominent view the salient points of our country's history, and such only. In so great a mass of details, selection was necessary; for when thousands of facts are put before the child's mind, and everything is made equally important, it simply results that everything becomes equally unimportant. Hence the author has endeavored to apply the principles of historical perspective to his treatment, - to subordinate minutiæ of date and place and number and circumstance, and bring to the foreground prominent and vital facts. The second thing the author has aimed at is, to be simple in the mode of presentation without falling into the prevalent sin of children's histories, to wit, silliness in point of matter.

Download or read book History Lessons written by Dana Lindaman and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2006-07-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “fascinating” look at what students in Russia, France, Iran, and other nations are taught about America (The New York Times Book Review). This “timely and important” book (History News Network) gives us a glimpse into classrooms across the globe, where opinions about the United States are first formed. History Lessons includes selections from textbooks and teaching materials used in Russia, France, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Canada, and others, covering such events as the American Revolution, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Iran hostage crisis, and the Korean War—providing some alternative viewpoints on the history of the United States from the time of the Viking explorers to the post-Cold War era. By juxtaposing starkly contrasting versions of the historical events we take for granted, History Lessons affords us a sometimes hilarious, often sobering look at what the world thinks about America’s past. “A brilliant idea.” —Foreign Affairs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in the History of the United States: Compiled for the Use of Common Schools Since so much has been said and done for the diffusion of knowledge among the people of this country, and so generally and generously has each of the states provided the means for imparting public instruction, we are safe in presuming that every child, between the ages of five and fifteen years, either goes to school or may go. If this be so, then we affirm that every child in the United States should learn something of the history of his own country before leaving school. He should have imprinted on his mind a vivid outline of the story of his native land. The history of America is fruitful in interesting incident; and "Young America" should be familiar with his own pedigree, and hold in hallowed remembrance the "times that tried men's souls," - the souls of his fathers, - if he would be honored and respected at home and abroad, and secure for himself a virtuous, happy, and "green old age." Improvement in individual and national virtue is not the least among the advantages to result from the study of history; and no country, ancient or modem, affords examples better adapted to excite indignation against the oppressor, and to cause the heart to glow with the admiration of suffering virtue, than America, both in its early settlement and in its struggles for independence.
