Download or read book The First Book in United States History Classic Reprint written by Waddy Thompson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book in United States History The value of biography in teaching history to young pupils is well recognized. The personal, or human, element that this form of narration adds to the text arouses the interest that is essential to the study of history. Care should be taken, however, not to overemphasize biography lest the relative importance of the in dividual and the event be misunderstood and lest the historical connection between events be lost. The biographies furnished in' this text are abundant, and they have been selected because, taken together, they cover nearly all the events of the history of our country that the young pupil need know. Wherever biography is not available, or wherever it is advisable to emphasize the event rather than the individual or to preserve a closer connection between events, the author has resorted to the ordinary form of narration. In preparing the text he has used portions of his earlier work, A Primary History of the United States. When undertaken properly the study of history is not only very useful, but is a source of delight. If the pupil, in taking up the study for the first time, can see in it the wonderful story of people who have gone before him and builded that he might live the better, he will acquire a liking for history that will abide with him in after years. To give to the young people of America not only the advantages, but the pleasure, that may be found in the study of the history of their country is the purpose of the author. With the hope that his purpose will be fulfilled, this little book is sent forth on its mission. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primary History of the United States Before the white man came the Indians had dogs, but no sheep, horses, or cattle. They used no tools of iron or steel. They lived in clans that were made up of all the families descended from a common female ancestor. A number of clans formed a tribe. A symbol, or totem, such as a wolf or a bear, was the mark of the clan, and its members believed that the spirit of the animal chosen as the totem watched over them. The Indians had a belief in a number of mysterious spirits called manitos, 1 which they feared or venerated. They had, however, no belief in a single Great Spirit or Supreme Deity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primary History in the United States This book has been written in the belief that a primary history of the United States should be short, as interesting as possible, and well illustrated; that it should be a narrative of events, not a series of biographical sketches; that it should touch on all matters of real importance in the founding and building of our country; and that it should leave unnoticed such questions as are beyond the understanding of the pupils for whose use it is intended. Those who leave school after but one years work in history will thus obtain a fair general knowledge of so much of our history as every American ought to be ashamed not to know, while those who pursue the study further will have made a good beginning. The illustrations are historically authentic. Such pictures are far more valuable than imaginary ones, and it is believed that in this book, as in the School History, they will be found to be more interesting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory History of the United States IT is the aim of this work to set forth the main facts of American History, particularly the earlier periods, in such a way as to attract and interest pupils of the earlier gram mar grades. It is now very generally acknowledged that history is best approached through biography. Personal incident is more attractive to every one, and especially to children, than any narrative of events can possibly be. Most of the book, therefore, has been given to biographical sketches of representative makers of the nation. Effort has been made to choose those men who would best illustrate the most important phases of national growth. Some of these phases are: the difficulties and dangers of exploration, and how they were overcome by earnestness and perseverance; the risks and hardships of settlement, and how they were met and conquered; the independence and patriotism of the colonists, and how they triumphed; the effect of environment upon character; the develop ment of the people in politics and government and in social life; and the progress of invention and its effect upon national development.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Old World to the New: How America Was Found and Settled The aim of this little book is to place before our younger grammar school children a simple connected account of the discovery and settlement of America. The day of the biographical primary history is passing. That of the book of disconnected history stories is already past. History is an ever lengthening chain of causes and effects. As such we must teach it. We must seek in the Old World the facts which will make possible our knowl edge of the New. We must look far back of Columbus to find the real meaning of the discoverer's work. We must look upon that work as in its turn a cause of other move ments, fraught with mighty consequences for us of to-day. We must teach our children not so much what as why. Then only will the maze of facts become to them intelligible. Then only will they find in historical reading and study the joy which should be theirs.
