Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Washington "Another Life of Washington!" Anticipating this very natural exclamation, let the new aspirant be allowed a few words of explanation, if not apology. Abundant and excellent are the biographies of Washington, certainly. Yet there seems room for one especially adapted to young people - not children, exactly, but the older pupils in our schools, and some learners who have done with schools. For these, the very fulness of the best lives of Washington renders them unsuitable. Details of battles and statesmanship, the cruelties of war and politics, are not particularly interesting or instructive to the young.

Download or read book History of the State of Washington Classic Reprint written by Edmond S. Meany and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the State of Washington The history of the State of Washington has been published occasionally in the form of expensive subscription volumes, augmented by the aid extended from generous individuals who were persuaded to have their biographies and portraits added for a monetary consideration. This book is written in the belief that the time has now come when there is a distinct use for a compact record in one volume, free from money-enticing addenda and depending for success upon its own merits. It is intended primarily for the general reader, but the frequent citation to sources will make it usable in such high schools and colleges as may need a text in this subject. Acknowledgments of assistance have been made in footnotes throughout the work. It should, however, be recorded here that the difficult task of preparing Chapter XXXI on "Federal Activity in the State" has been greatly facilitated by the aid of United States Senator Samuel H. Piles, the members of President Roosevelt's Cabinet, and their assistants. The greatest difficulty arose from the fact that much of the information sought had never been segregated as to States. It may transpire that that chapter will blaze the way for a new appraisal of the increasing cooperation by the American nation with the individual States. Governor Albert E. Mead has kindly permitted the use of the portraits of Territorial and State governors collected by him for the State, and George H. Himes, Assistant Secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, furnished a number of the other illustrations. The efficient and tireless help of Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, is also acknowledged with gratitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Washington Although more than a century has passed since the death of Washington, his name is still the most illustrious upon the pages of American history. Living during a period of expansion and changes, as ambassador, statesman, captain-general, and President, he served his country long and faithfully. Inasmuch as the question of expansion is again rife and the conditions of our government are changing, it is well to review his life and character and to place them anew before the youth of our country. Let our young men imitate his unselfish devotion to duty and to the broad and deep principles of true liberty, and we need not fear for the future of our great Republic. In compiling this work, I have been forced to omit much of interest in regard to Washington; yet I have endeavored to include those incidents and facts which in my opinion best bring out his life and delineate his character.

This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Washington, the National Capital IN writing the Story of Washington, the author has had in mind both the local and general reader; for the national capital belongs not alone to its citizens, but also to the nation. On the one hand it was desirable not to burden the narrative with details of merely local interest; on the other, not to treat the subject in so general a way as to as sociate with it no local avor whatever. He has also endeavored to write in a simple and direct style that would attract youthful readers, and that would not displease those of mature years. It is common com plaint that our young people read foreign books especially English books - so exclusively, that we are in danger of becoming a race of Anglomaniacs.
