Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Four Great American Series: Biographical Stories of Great Americans for Young Americans Patrick Henry was born on the 29th of May, 1736, in Hanover County, Virginia. George Washington was born on the 22d of February, 1732, in Westmoreland County. While one was a baby rocking in his cradle, the other was still so small that he played about in dresses like a girl. Many years later these Virginia boys were great friends, and, as we shall see, they became two of the most famous men in the history of our country. The blue-eyed Patrick grew very fast. When he was old enough to go about alone, he found playmates in the woods. The birds sang to him, the fishes dared him to dive into the clear water after them, and the bees often droned about him until he fell asleep on the grass.

Download or read book A History of the United States for Young Americans written by Lynds Eugene Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States for Young Americans: From the Landing of Columbus to the Inauguration of Benjamin Harrison Little doubt now remains that, some five hundred years before Columbus set sail on his famous voyage, this continent was visited by the Northmen, or people from Norway and Iceland. They were a venturesome, sea-loving race, and on one of their many bold western expeditions they chanced upon Greenland and then upon the mainland. They made, however, no permanent settle ment here, and the knowledge of their discovery does not appear to have travelled much beyond their own country, and seems to have been soon forgotten even there. It became a lost discovery, with little bearing upon the history of the New World and none whatever upon that of the United States. Our history - the history of the American people - only dates from the discovery, or redis covery, of a Western Hemisphere by Columbus. This closing year of centennial celebrations seems a peculiarly fitting occasion to attempt once more to excite in the youth of our country an interest in its past history. We are seeking in these days to do honor in every way to the Fathers of the Republic. Surely we can pay them no greater reverence than by retelling the story of their deeds as examples for our children to emulate. And if from thweading of this volume, necessarily limited to a narrative of only the most notable incidents which have marked the progress of the nation, a desire is awakened in the minds of young Americans to learn more of the land to which it is their happy fortune to belong; if a purer patriotism is aroused, and a stronger purpose formed to live a life worthy of the founders of the Union, its Object will be fully accomplished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Liberty The necessity of teaching, not only to young Americans but to all prospective Americans, the meaning and mis sion of political liberty has but lately found expression in the movement known as Americanization. What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its influence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth?

Download or read book Stories of Great Americans written by Edward Eggleston and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Great Americans: For Little Americans The primary aim of this book is to furnish the little learner reading matter that will excite his attention and give him pleasure, and thus make lighter the difficult task of learning to read. The ruggedness of this task has often been increased by the use of disconnected sentences, or lessons as dry and uninteresting as finger exercises on the piano. It is a sign of promise that the demand for reading matter of interest to the child has come from teachers. I have endeavored to meet this requirement in the following stories. As far as possible the words chosen have been such as are not difficult to the little reader, either from their length or their unfamiliarity. The sentences and paragraphs are short. Learning to read is like climbing a steep hill, and it is a great relief to the panting child to find frequent breathing places. It is one of the purposes of these stories to make the mind of the pupil familiar with some of the leading figures in the history of our country by means of personal anecdote. Some of the stories are those that every American child ought to know, because they have become a kind of national folklore. Such, for example, are "Putnam and the Wolf" and the story of "Franklin's Whistle." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
