Download or read book Heroes of National History Classic Reprint written by Thomas Groetzinger and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of National History Though the biographical approach to history has long been recognized, only in recent years has it come into its own. Through this approach the child's interest is aroused and retained; he lives historical episodes through the life of the hero. His desire to know more is quickened and he becomes willing and eager to read historical narrative. This volume does not pretend to be a complete biographical account of any of the characters selected. The salient features of the various lives have been emphasized and sufficient detail given to constitute at least a minimum requirement. In using this volume the alert teacher will first tell the story, striving to make the hero live for the child. She will use many incidents and details not mentioned. She will elaborate and complete many of those told. Then the child is ready for the book. Its material will clinch the story definitely. From the book he will obtain all that any child should be required to remember. The characters selected follow, in the main, those recommended in the Report of the Committee of Eight. They follow closely those required in the course of study for the fifth year of the Public Schools of Philadelphia.

Download or read book Some Forgotten Heroes and Their Place in American History Classic Reprint written by E. Alexander Powell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Forgotten Heroes and Their Place in American History This book is a tribute to some men who have been forgotten by Fame. Though they won for us more than half the territory within our present borders, they lie for the most part in obscure and neglected graves, some of them under alien skies, their amazing exploits all too often unperpetuated in bronze or stone. Though their names hold small significance for their countrymen of the present generation, yet they played great parts in our national drama. It was the persistent and daring assaults made by such men as Bean and Nolan upon the Spanish boundaries which undermined the power of Spain upon this continent and paved the way for Travis, Bowie, Bonham, Crockett, and Houston to effect the liberation of Texas. Captain Reed of the General Armstrong, after holding off a British force twenty times the strength of his own, sunk his vessel rather than surrender. To a pirate and smuggler named Jean Lafitte, more than any other person save Andrew Jackson, we are indebted for saving New Orleans from capture and Louisiana from invasion. After two decades of history-making in Hindustan, Boyd came back to his own country and ably seconded William Henry Harrison in breaking the power of the great Indian confederation which threatened to check the white man's westward march.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the Nations Dear Girls and Boys: You have been working away with the queer, crooked marks printed in books until now you know how to read. How many splendid stories are waiting for you! To be sure they are locked up in books, but whoever can read has the magic key which opens the books. Will you enjoy this book? That depends upon what you like. Some of these stories are about girls and boys. Most of them learned to read and write, though their languages were very different from ours. They enjoyed fine stories as you do. Brave Joan of Arc could not read; but she could pray; and her prayers saved France. Of course you love your mother and father very dearly, and they love you. So you will understand why Ulysses went to war rather than hurt his baby boy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History How, then, comes it, may the reflective mind repeat, that the grand Tissue of all Tissues, the only real Tissue, should have been quite overlooked by Science, -the vestural Tissue, namely, of woollen or other cloth; which Man's Soul wears as its outmost wrappage and overall; wherein his whole other Tissues are in luded and screened, his whole raculties work, his whole Self lives, moves, and has its being? For if, now and then, some straggling broken-winged thinker has cast an owl's-glance into this obscure region, the most have soared over it altogether heed Iess; regarding Clothes as a property, not an accident, as quite natural and Spontaneous, like the leaves of trees, like the plumage of birds. In all speculations they have tacitly figured man as a Ulothed Animal; whereas he is by nature a Naked Animal; and only in certain circumstances, by purpose and device, masks him self in Clothes. Shakespeare says, we are creatures that look be fore and after: the more surprising that we do not look round a little, and see what is passing under our very eyes.

Download or read book Southern Heroes written by Fernando G. Cartland and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Heroes: Or the Friends in War Time In presenting this volume to the public, the writer would say that he has been only one of many who have for a long time realized the importance of preserving, in book form, a record of certain facts concerning the sufferings of Friends in the South, during the war of 1861-65. Others have begun the work, but from various causes they have thus far failed to complete it. As years have passed, the opportunities for gaining reliable information have become less and less favorable, on account of the death of some of those who, "for conscience toward God, endured grief, suffering wrongfully." To delay longer would make the task of writing such a book still more difficult. This work has therefore been undertaken with the desire to preserve for coming generations this portion of a hitherto unwritten history. To all those who have so kindly aided in the preparation of the manuscript, the writer would hereby express his appreciation and gratitude; and it is his hope that the deeply interesting nature of the subject may induce the critical reader to pass lightly over the numerous defects which may be discovered in the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Progress in America In the history of every nation there is much more going on than wars and revolutions. These are brief in duration and rapid in effect, but in the long inter vals between the years of strife the work of peace goes steadily forward, producing its changes more deliberately but with equal utility. The pioneer and the warrior are not the only figures that stand promi nent in national archives, not the only individuals that rise to the surface of things. There are many persons who attain heroic proportions not as results of bold adventure or military skill and daring, but through aid to the progress of mankind in less showy but equally important ways.
