Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 6 Between the two groups of English colonies north and south, Holland in the previous generation had driven the little wedge of New Netherland. European wars now gave the excuse needed, and the free flag of the States General gave place to the standard of Saint George and Saint Andrew. 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. American liberty, child of independence and self-reliance, was born upon this frontier. When it blazed red with the torch of Philip, the Wampanoag chief, New Eng land came together as one man in self-defense - and the Dutch stood beside them on the firing-line. When the Indians of Virginia made lamentable alliance with the vicious Berkeley, who held his profitable traffic with them above the lives and property of his colonists, the spirit flared forth in Nathaniel Bacon, that voice in the wilderness crying out to men to rid themselves of despots.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 5: On Savage Shores, the Age of Consolidation, 1620-1643 But, however limited the tolerance in religion, these colonists of English speech and tradition brought with them a measure of civil liberty unknown in the world else where. The voyagers on the Mayflower entered into a solemn compact for self-government which left them, except for a commercial contract with the Plymouth company, virtually independent of the world. Less than a score of years later, the new colony of Connecticut formally executed a constitution so broad in its principles that it remains to this day as a complete form of civil order, containing within itself every essential feature of the fundamental laws of the Federal Government and Sovereign States of the Union. It left Connecticut for twenty years as free from external control as any State of Europe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance The world's greatest historians to the present time have sought to put the interest of fiction into their work, but they have been so limited by the narrative style adopted that only a few of the greatest have been even fairly successful. The vast majority of histories never have been and probably never will be read outside of a limited circle of tireless students.

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. 2 Columbus bequeathed to Europe a New World. But he died not knowing the magnitude of his discoveries. Indeed, it was his countryman, John Cabot, sailing in the service of England, who first gazed upon continental America. Still another Italian, Amerigo Vespucci, was to stamp his name across a hemisphere - a name that the wit of philosophers and the fancy of poets could not have chosen more aptly. For America - the name also survives in the German Emmerich and the English Emery - means the Ruler of Work, the King of Toil. It was to the great company of Spanish explorers that the task of tracing the dim outline of the double continents fell. And what dazzling names these men have left on the pages of history! Balboa, Cortez, Pizarro, De Soto, Ponce de Leon, and Coronado! True, it was the insatiable thirst for wealth that led men on; but the credit is none the less theirs. From Vespucci's time their vision grew year by year as their quest for riches hastened their feet, now north to Florida and the Mississippi, now south to Columbia and Venezuela, now west to Yucatan, Mexico, and the expanding Pacific, and thence south once more to the golden glory of Peru. History holds no such chapters as these. The Old World thrust itself upon the New as Greece descended upon Persia, as Rome swept through the nations of antiquity; but with a difference. Through unrecorded ages the two civilizations had grown up apart, each teaching man a measure of his possibilities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 10: With Reading Courses, Being a Complete and Authentic History The Real America in Romance may be used in several ways. The volumes may be placed in the hands of young persons to be read simply as stories, allowing them to acquire incidentally such historical information as may linger in their memories; they may be used by independent students, young or old, who wish to gain a general knowledge of the history of our country in an interesting and easy manner; or they may be used by teachers and parents in class work.

Such additional material as may be necessary to give a more comprehensive view of the course of events, but which could not consistently be placed in the general narrative, has been thrown into these notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 1 of 13: An Authentic History of America From the Discovery to the Present Day Profusely Illustrated With Portraits of Historical Characters and Views of the Sacred and Memorable Places of Our Native Land Now, in The Real America in Romance the charm of the story-teller's art has actually been used to tell the true story of the 400 years of American development. The result is romance and authentic history blended to their mutual advantage. We obtain not only the educational value of history, but also all that makes fiction morally profitable. Here are set before us the examples of great men of earth, men great in their patriotism and self-sacrifice; and side by Side with them are romantic characters typical of the times, men and women only less great in their kindliness and unselfishness, all affording a high expression of the art of anglo-saxon romance. Instead of reading about bistori cal characters and events, we see the persons themselves in action, and live with them through the events of their day and generation. The reader loses himself in the irresistible fascination of the story, and the impressions resulting are made on the heart as well as on the intellect. You do not merely read about Columbus: you endure with him his hardships, share with him his disappointments, rejoice with him in his achievements. You actually feel the thrill of discovery when the New World swims into his vision. Not content with telling you merely that Washington wintered and suffered at Valley Forge with his army, the author takes you straightway into the camp, Shows you the torn and bleeding feet of the soldiers, and makes you stand watch with the half-fed sentries, with little to warm your blood except a fiery determination to die of cold, hunger, or British bul lets, rather than give up the fight for your country.

Excerpt: ...through the back door and so across the dooryard to a stile hard by a clump of bushes. Robert went with him to show him the begining of the way. The night was still black, despite the rift that was in the east; he disappeared in a moment. Returning to the house, Robert passed something lurking in the clump of bushes; something that, had he known then what the years were to teach him, he would have strangled without remorse. But fate was not yet kind; he neither saw nor knew. CHAPTER XX FATE GOES FAR ASTRAY OBERT STEVENS slept not at all that night; his R mind was too full of thoughts about the brave men who had visited them. If he thought of what had passed In the arbor immediately preceding the arrival of Goffe, it "Jas with regret that he had gone as far as he had, and with thankfulness that he had got no further. To him her silence meant that she had understood him, and had been distressed. He resolved that nothing would ever lead him into another situation so painful, and, with that resolve, dismissed it frem his mind to reflect upon the big events that had brought her uncle to his present pass. When the day was still young he arose from the couch on which he had thrown himself and went to his daily duties, stopping only for a bit of porridge that the servant prepared for him.

She was very pale, her hands were clasped tightly together - so much he gathered in the space of a moment but he had not looked at her, he felt that he dared not, that more ter rible to him than any other sight upon earth might be to him the answer to the question asked by his eyes. The formal introduction over, he did not stir, he could not; but all at once he became conscious that a little hand, cold as his own, was touching his and then with a mighty effort he took it, and looked up. She would not have given him her hand thus had she known all her husband had evidently told her nothing, and in her eyes as yet he was not the thing accursed that he had schooled himself to believe that he was. Nevertheless the touch of her hand seemed to scorch him he relinquished it with haste, and turned to Flora. I did not know that you were the sister of Mr. Montrose, he said, in a strangely dull.
