Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Makers of Virginia History Virginia has been called the Mother of States and of Statesmen - a compliment justly due the Old Dominion. In this little book an effort has been made to give biographical sketches of some of those great leaders who have placed Virginia in the forefront of American states. One great difficulty, however, has presented itself to the author in preparing these sketches: the impossibility of treating the many great men whom our state has produced. When we consider, in ad dition to those who are treated here, such names as Morgan the Thunderbolt, Wythe, Giles, the Barbours, Cary, Carrington, the many Lees, Doddridge, Baldwin, Tazewell, Taylor, the Masons, Stewart, Leigh, Grayson and scores of others, there seems to be no end to Virginia's distinguished sons. Each locality in the state undoubtedly has some citizen who can truly rank as a maker of Virginia history, though his name is not men tioned in this book. Our purpose, therefore, has been to select only a few characters in the different periods of our history, and to narrate the chief events in their lives in such a way as to give the story of Virginia history from 1607 to the present day. We believe that the best way to teach V.rginia history is by holding up before the boys and girls the deeds of those men who have done so much in the making of our history.

Download or read book Shakespeare and the Makers of Virginia Classic Reprint written by A. W. Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Makers of Virginia Virginian history. F oranthentic information as to the proceedings of the Virginia Company during the eventful eighteen years of its chartered life, divided into the Guelf and Ghibelline periods of the Thomas Smith and the sandys-southampton regimes, the historical student will turn to the Records of the Company, sumptuously edited from the Manuscript in the Library of Congress, which they had reached by a strange Odyssey, after being transcribed in just apprehension of the danger menacing them by the far-sighted care of Nicholas Ferrar; the Ferrar papers at Magdalene College, Cambridge; and the Manchester papers in the Public Record Office. Miss Kingsbury's monumental edition is prefaced by Professor Osgood, whose own American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century may claim to be considered a standard work in the entire subject of which my address to-night only touches a section while Mr. Newton's admirably written Colonising Activities of the English Puritans treats its final phase (the history of the Providence Company). On the other hand, Professor W. R. Scott's remarkable work on British Joint Stock Companies, though ranging over a far wider field than we have at present in contemplation, and conducting an exceedingly complex inquiry with close attention to the varying conditions of its several parts, discusses that section of it which concerns the Virginia Company with masterly conciseness, and may serve as a welcome guide through more discursive methods of treatment. As to the general bearing of this chapter of colonial upon the progress of English political life in general, Gardiner's standard work, to which I like to appeal in these walls, and which has just undergone the test of a searching critical estimate from an able American pen, is not likely to be left neglected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Virginia: For the Use of Schools In deference to the prejudices and tastes of some teachers, I have affixed questions to the different chapters, though my own experience leads me to the conviction that the best mode of teaching history is not by questions, which make the lesson a task, instead of a recreation established in the midst of dryer and more abstruse studies. Let the class read the lesson and the teacher ask full questions upon it: thus a habit of attentive reading is formed, and the history ofa single country does not employ, as is often the case, an entire session. In preparing the book I have freely made use of the labors of others, to whom only a general acknowledgment can be made. The volume is earnestly recommended to the young student, with the hope that he may strive to imitate the many worthy examples held up before him in its pages, and that he may remember that the prosperity and honor of his State in the future, as they did in the past, rest upon the shoulders of her sons.

Download or read book Virginia a History of the People Classic Reprint written by John Esten Cooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia a History of the People The work before the reader attempts to draw an out line of the people, and to present a succinct narrative of the events of their history. For the portrait of the Virginians, the general histories afford little assistance. The material, and above all, the coloring must be looked for elsewhere in the writings of the first adventurers, which are the relations of eye-witnesses or contempo raries in forgotten pamphlets, family papers, the curi ous laws passed by the Burgesses, and in those traditions of the people which preserve the memory of events in the absence of written records. It appeared to the writer that this was the true material of history, and that he ought not to go to the modern works as long as it existed. The likeness of the Virginians is only to be found in these remote sources; and the writer has patiently studied the dusty archives, and endeavored to extract their meaning, with no other object than to as certain the truth, and to represent the men and events in their true colors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From Virginia History, for the Young In sending out this little book, I find myself much interested in the teachers and pupils who will use it, and am impelled to write a word to my Fellow Teachers. I have tried to make my language as simple as possible, but I really do not like the books in words of three or four letters. Children should be taught language, and if the teacher will explain the meaning of the words to the class, taking them in connection with the rest of the sentence, they will be much more easily remembered than when studied in the columns of a dictionary. I would also suggest that the children be encouraged to tell the stories in their own language. They will thus learn to express themselves with ease and fluency. In the sketches of Virginians, I am greatly impressed with the salutary lessons their lives contain; young children catch so readily at things of that kind. Many a boy will dream of being a Patrick Henry, a Washington, an honest man like Monroe, or a hero like Lee or Jackson.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Politics in Early Virginia History The case of our patriotic founders, because of the results which have naturally followed the complete control over evidences held by their opponents, has been misrepresented for over two hundred and fifty years, and has come to he so entirely misunderstood that it cannot be corrected suddenly. All issues naturally produce opposing evidences, and tend to obscure facts; but of all influences, not one has had a more absolute effect under monarchies in the past, on the history of reform movements, than politics. Policies of government were even more vigorously censored than matters pertaining to religion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
