Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Early American History Experience and observation have shown that interest must be awakened in the early history of our country, or pupils will have a distaste for history in general; and that, if the early history of America, which is our real history, be understood and appreciated, no difficulty will arise in studying the later development of the country. A pupil who has rightly learned American history has laid a foundation for good reading and has acquired an interest in the history of other nations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Record, and Repertory of Notes and Queries, Vol. 1: Concerning the History and Antiquities of America and Biography of Americans On the 30th of March 1871 the old "Catamount Tavern" House, which had long been the most notable relic of early times in the Center Village of Bennington, Vermont, was burnt to the ground. It had been unoccupied for a short time and the origin of the fire is unknown. The house, which was in a tolerable state of preservation, had been built over a hundred years, having been erected by Captain Stephen Fay, a year or two prior to 1770. It was a wooden building about 44 feet by 34, two stories high, having two high chimneys with high fire places in each story, besides which there was a very large fireplace in the cellar or basement, part of which was used as a wash room, and a cook room as occasion required. The two chimneys are now standing (Autumn of 1871) exhibiting their spacious fire places, with heavy iron cranes in those of the lower story and basement. On the marble mantle of one of the fire places the words "Council room" appear, cut there in early times. On the top of the high sign post was placed the stuffed skin of a Catamount, from which came the name of the house, though in its early days it was, in accordance with the custom of the time, more generally spoken of as "Landlord Fay's." During the period of the early settlement of the state, the house was a great resort for travellers and emigrants; and it was also widely known as the Head Quarters of the settlers in their contest with the New York land claimants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History: Outlines and Notes; A Preference Manual for Teachers and Pupils Of the making of books there is no end. What is needed is A5 not more books, but better books. This statement is as true with regard to text-books as along other lines of literary effort. Before a new vessel is launched even though it be but a steam tug, 'a demand for its existence should be felt. Before launching this little bark upon the untried sea of popular favor, we inquire, Is-it needed? Will it supply a long-felt demand? Is this demand sufficiently pressing to warrant the time and expense required to launch this little bark? From the standpoint of a field educational worker, I do not hesitate to say, after years of observation, that a complete series of outlines to guide in the study of United States History, pointing out the hand of Providence in the discovery, exploration, and colonization of America at just the time and in just the manner prescribed by the Ruler of nations, is greatly needed by our teachers everywhere as an aid in their earnest endeavor to impress upon the mind of the student the eternal principle, The most High ruleth in the kingdom of men and giveth it to whomsoever He will.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summary of American History: For the Use of Schools IN attempting to paint a miniature of American History, from works like those of Bancroft and Hildreth and the late invaluable records of the Civil War, the author does not flatter herself that she has maintained a perfect pro portion in the reduced scale. While holding this artistic idea more or less distinctly in mind, she has at least aimed to produce a consistent view of our national annals, omit ting no incident which can claim an essential place in the chain of causes that have made our present condition what it is though many things which, during their brief exist ence, have appealed forcibly to the public eye and ear, must of necessity be crowded out. As the world grows busier, it has more need of little books. the portly folios which entertained the dignified leisure of our grandfathers serve an excellent purpose to adorn our library shelves, but those who are engaged in the pressing business of life must find their information in amore condensed and portable form. The memories of children in schools are crowded with such a mass of de tails, that there is serious danger of an act of general oblivion on escaping from the course of study.

That trade, however, was seriously hampered by the fact that it could not follow a direct and continuous water route. The Isthmus of Suez barred the way. For this reason, the spices, silks, and drugs brought from the far East up the Red Sea had to be unloaded, transported across the desert to the Nile,4 the student's american history. [1487.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Epochs in American History, Described by Famous Writers From Columbus to Roosevelt: With Introductions and Explanatory Notes Radicals who joined to their radicalism a spirit little short of revolutionary are in a measure to be excused because Congress in their time had inherited from the war a habit of exercising power arbitrarily. Lincoln had been compelled to act arbitrarily, if not actually to strain the Constitution, because of the necessities of the time. The War Department was under the same necessity; this department in practically all the great activities of the Government, became for a time the Government itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of American History With Notes and Queries, Vol. 4 He pleaded in justification of himself that he had been only acting under the orders of General Arnold, and that, if anything was wrong, he was responsible. Sir, answered Washington, do you know that General Arnold has ed, and that Mr. Anderson, whom you have piloted through our lines, p1;oves to be Major John Andre, the adjutant-general of the British army, now our prisoner? I expect him here under a guard of one hundred horse, to meet h'is fate as a spy, and unless you confess who were your accomplices, I shall suspend you both on yonder tree 1 pointing to a tree before the door. He then, says Smith, ordered the guards to take me away. About two hours after this Smith said he heard the sound of horses' hoofs, and, soon after, the voice of Andre mingling with those of Washington and others, but here Smith was altogether wrong. Washington saw Major Tallmadge, and asked him many questions, but he declined to see the British adjutant-general, and Tallmadge always believed that, incredible as it may appear, Washington and Andre never saw each other. The most famous of Washington's biographers thinks that the reason why the General refused to see Andre was apparently from a strong idea of his moral obliquity, deduced from the nature of the very nefarious business in which he had been engaged, and the circumstances under which he was taken. But in truth this theory is hardly tenable, at least it is not reconcilable with the sentiments regarding. Andre afterwards expressed by the American Commander. It is more reasonable to sup pose that Washington's course in the matter was actuated by a nice sense of the etiquette of his position, rather than by any personal enmity to the man. The interview of James, II. And the Duke of Monmouth has been cited by General Charles J. Biddle, in his elaborate review of Andre's case, as containing within itself what seems to be the real explanation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Record, and Repertory of Notes and Queries, 1872, Vol. 1: Concerning the History and Antiquities of America and Biography of Americans Then the next day being Church day, the scout fetched me to the Court where I think, before my body was in their view, within the chamber-door, the Governor bade me put off my hat but before I could make answer, he bade the scout take it off. Then he asked me about Meetings. And af ter some words, said, I had broken their law. 80 he called for it and read it to me, wherein he termed the servants of the Lord to be heretics, deceivers, and sedu cers, or such like, and then asked me if I would deny that I had kept Meetings. I answered that I should not deny meetings; but that I had kept such meetings or en tertaincd sur h persons as be there read of I did deny, forl could not own them to be such; but he would not reason it at all. 'iben he said: I ut will you deny meetings? I answered I shall neither den) nor affirm. Will you put us to prove it, said he. I said: Nay I shall not put to proving; but if you have any thing against me. You may act. Here I am in your hands ready to suffer what you shall he suffered to inflict upon me, or to that purpose. So the Go vernor put by all reasoning, and they spake to me to pass forth. I said I was willing, first, to give them to understand the condition of my family and the cruel ty of bringing me so from them. So when I had declared it to them, I said: Now, do you judge at whose hands it will be re quired, if they suffer in my absent c. The Governor said: At yours. So being spo ken to I was going away, and two or three of them spake to me, to take my hat, which I did not intend to leave. So it ly ing by the door I took it and went to the ('ourt aguard again, and the N out came a little after and told me: [that] When I had paid 150 guilders I might go home. I asked him what I must do till then. He said I must tarry there in that place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
