Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romances of Early America Position of the lad who, when twitted about his youth, answered that he would outgrow the fault, if given a little time. America is fast outgrowing this fault of extreme youth. The country already has a past of which it may be proud, and one that is full of pictur esqueness. The more it is written about the more inter esting it seems, and the greater is the wonder that the New World offers so much pleasant romance to the reader. The age in which we live may be prosaic, and marked by the worship of Mammon, yet the public never showed a livelier appreciation than it does now of the dead-and-gone heroes and heroines who lived and loved, lost or won, in the early days of our history. I trust, therefore, that a place in the bookcase may be found for these Romances of Early America. The characters of whom they treat faded into shadows many years ago, but the theme of the volume - the old, old story - is ever new, and worth the telling.

Download or read book The Real America in Romance Vol 11 Classic Reprint written by Edwin Markham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 11 California and all its gold were won; New Mex1co and Arizona, youngest of our commonwealths, became ours both by conquest and fair purchase; and in the north the Ore gon country, long in dispute, now settled itself in safety beneath the flag. The strip of English-speaking people along the Atlantic coast begins to balance itself with a similar fringe on the Pacific, from Columbia to N oma Point, of eager, alert, pushing Americans. The Red Frontier, which had always lain to westward, was now pushed back from the West to meet the East, and the peaceful occupation of the Louisiana Purchase was assured by the mighty reach' of the nation from ocean to ocean. History can never be more interesting than here, where every gallant deed is the forerunner of a greater gallantry in the crisis which threatens from the generation yet to come. Of a piece with it is the romantic interest in the book, which binds the history into an engrossing whole. On the field of battle the descendants of Stevens the Cavalier and Stevens the Pilgrim meet the lost remnant of the Este van family, sprung from Felipe, the grandson of Hernando, companion to Columbus, who had sought the family fortunes among his fellow Spaniards in Mexico. Romance and history combine, each adding interest to the other as it receives interest from the other, until before the reader's eyes stands a picture of a puissant nation, planted firmly on the shores of this earth's two greatest seas, at last and always The Great Republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 6 By this change, the long Atlantic reach became English, and the energies of the race began that strenuous westerly advance which enables every American to boast of pioneer blood. The first red frontier extended not a furlong from the ocean rollers; every step westward was made in the face of savage resistance. With isolated exceptions, every town in America was once a frontier village, the streets of which echoed to the war-whoop of the Indian. These outposts maintained themselves against the ferocities of the aborigines by the sheer use of the weapons of war. The struggle with the austerities of nature was only less desperate.

Download or read book Half Forgotten Romances of American History Classic Reprint written by Elisabeth Ellicott Poe and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Half-Forgotten Romances of American History It was winter in Virginia, A. D. 1607. Gone were the Italian blue skies of the spring and summer which had charmed the Jamestown settlers when the ships Godspeed, Susan Constant and the Discovery sailed up the Powhatan River, rechristened by the voyagers the "James" in honor of the King of England. The dogwood, wild cherry, crab apple, mulberry and persimmon trees had lost their blooms, but here and there through grim, white woods gleamed the red of the holly tree. On giant oaks clustered the white berry of the mistletoe, a strange reminder to the Englishmen of the Druid faith of their forefathers. In the Indian village, Werowocomoco, on the York River, lived the mighty Powhatan, chief of the region. The village was situated about three miles above the present Yorktown, where the lion of England surrendered in later years to the lion's cub, America. It was one of three capital villages of the Powhatan confederation of Indians. The others were Orapakes, on the Chickahominy River, near Powhatan, and Powhatan, near the present site of the city of Richmond. Werowocomoco was composed of 25 or 30 wigwams or houses built of saplings. These were planted at regular distances like posts, then bent over and tied together in the middle. The houses were built up by skillful application of barks and grasses adroitly interwoven. Their shape was either oblong or circular. Sixty stalwart warriors guarded the sacred person of Powhatan. Powhatan's domestic relations are quaintly put: "He had a multiplicity of women." It is apparent that Powhatan, in common with other royalties, followed King Solomon's practical advice and brought upon himself marital trouble by adding rather than reducing possibilities in the number of wives. Powhatan, however, had one kingly prerogative lesser mortals lack in these more progressive days. If he tired of a wife, he gave her away to a friend as a token of royal favor. Such an improvement on the modern divorce court! T. R. would have rejoiced in Powhatan's family. He had twenty sons and twelve daughters.

And in the west a strip of blue sky, which was growing every moment larger and larger, showed that the weather would be clear and bitterly cold. The sun was not far from the horizon, and Lydia, seated by one of the windows, was watching a flock of snow-birds hopping about out side, picking up a handful of crumbs she had thrown them. Presently a gust of wind struck the house, making it tremble so, that she half believed it was going to rise and blowr away.

Download or read book Romance of American History Vol 1 of 2 written by Joseph Banvard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romance of American History, Vol. 1 of 2: As Illustrated in the Early Events Connected With the French Settlement at Fort Carolina, the Spanish Colony at St. Augustine, and the English Plantation at Jamestown The early colonial history of the Southern States abounds in incidents of a highly roman tic nature, especially Florida and Virginia. Some of these have found their way into the various Histories of the United States, and others have not. A particular narration of all the events of all the states of the Union would be a work so voluminous as, by its magnitude, to deter many from its perusal. Hence writers on the history of the whole country, from its discovery, are, from the necessity of the case, obliged to condense their accounts, and even reject much that is interesting. In this work an opposite course has been pursued. A limited extent of country and a comparatively short period of time have been embraced, and the interesting incidents which occurred within those limits minutely related. They pass before the eye in their various bril liant or sombre hues, like a continuous picture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
