Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of Our Country T will be admitted that the history of no other country possesses so absorbing interest as our own. Although a New World, with no antiquity of government, science, or art, it presents the fruitage of the centuries of the Old World. Builded on the lessons and experiences of the ages, its fabric is one of marvellous strength, endurance, and wisdom. In its infancy it was hardened and made rugged by storm, by trial, by privation, and by suffering. The rigors of an unfriendly climate, the enmity of savages, the obstacle of vast primeval for ests, and the choice between perishing from the earth or hewing the road to success, developed the highest form of mental and bodily vigor. Slavery in the Old World taught the blessings of liberty in the New, and our forefathers laid the foundations broad and deep and strong and sure. The Revolution brought the nation into existence and gave it a sisterhood among the peoples of the earth. The War of 1812 was necessary to gain and hold the respect of all countries, and the Civil War cemented and uni hed the house once divided against itself. Beneath the furnace blast we underwent the pangs of transformation, and came forth purified by fire. In this broad, appreciative spirit all children should study the history of our country. Its most impressive lessn will be lost on those who read it as a mere story, without an understanding of the meaning of historical movements and events. Why did the Pilgrims leave their native land to plant their homes in the dismal solitudes of New England? Why did the Cavaliers settle in Virginia? What caused our forefathers to sever their allegiance to Great Britain, and undergo poverty, hunger. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primary History of the United States: The Story of Our Country for Young Folks We feel sure that all the boys and girls who read this little book will be glad to be told about the land they live in, the great country which is known as the United States. They will find it pleasant to read how, many years ago, this land was first seen by bold sailors who came across the broad Atlantic Ocean. And they will wish to learn how white men began to live here, and what they said and did, and how, step by step, they built up this great and mighty nation. All of you should be glad to learn what kind of people were found in this country, how they spent their time, and what became of them. And you should seek to know what the white men did: how they cut down the great trees, and built for themselves homes, and sent ships abroad, and in time had large cities, and broad farms, and all that makes a people great.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginner's History of Our Country In the first place, unlike some primary histories in com mon use, this is not an abridgment of a larger history. To attempt, within the narrow limits of a primary text book, to present all Of'the events of our national life that are commonly considered important from the adult's standpoint, would be to reduce the narrative to little more than a catalogue of names and dates. Moreover, some subjects embraced in our country's history are absolutely beyond the comprehension of an immature mind. To require the young pupil to memorize statements upon such subjects is nothing short of a pedagogical crime.

Download or read book Delightful Stories From American History for Young People Classic Reprint written by Allen E. Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Delightful Stories From American History for Young People One cannot fail to notice that within the last few years a taste for the study of American History has been rapidly growing. A pleasing feature of this tendency is, that it has reached the home as well as the school. As a usual thing, history is dry, so a book for young people ought, before all things else, be interesting. A fact pleasantly told remains fixed in the memory, while that which is learned listlessly is lost easily. There is a fundamental difference between simplicity of thought and simplicity of expression. This book is designed to meet this difference; it tells the Stories of American History as our father told them to us many years ago, in a simple and natural manner. The language makes it especially suitable for young people and even for children, while, on the other hand, it is also equally interesting to grown people. It aims to teach the history of the country by bringing out the most illustrious actors and events in it. Young people are always interested in persons and things. Biography and story for them is the natural door into history. The order of dates is usually above their reach, but the course of events and the personal achievements of an individual are delightful. So in teaching by means of biography and story, we are teaching the very alphabet of history. It gives interesting glimpses of life in early times by means of personal anecdote. The customs of foreign courts, the wigwams of the Indians, the struggles of pioneer life, the desolations of the early wars with the savages, the spinning industry, the cotton and tobacco raising, the Tea Party, the cause of negro slavery, etc., are suggested in unforgettable stories of real people. In United States History there are also materials for moral instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country's History Realizing that a mere relation. Of dates, names and facts plays only a small part in promoting citizenship, which should be the primary object of history, we have endeavored at least in this book to connect the boys and girls with the great currents that explain and indicate the trend of our country's development. To enable the children to under stand our great achievements, institutions and problems of the present in the light of the past is to enlist their interest in history, to foster patriotism, to make more acute their sense of judgment and to inspire them with a higher degree of civic duty. Hence, in the selection, arrangement and discussion of facts we have kept constantly in mind their bearing on our life and institutions.

Download or read book Builders of Our Country Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Gertrude Van Duyn Southworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Builders of Our Country, Vol. 1 OF the narrative forms of history, the biographical has proved by far the most interesting and serviceable for boys and girls of ten or twelve; and experience tells us that for children of this age events in the lives of men must be told in a way that fixes those events by many striking and vivid pictures of each. In the twenty-five biographies here given, representing the most important builders of our country from the year 1000 to the beginnings of the American Revolution, the hero of each has received attention in proportion to the reach of his influence or of that of the group of which he is the central figure. The order of presentation is very nearly chronological, being otherwise only where there is a greater advantage in grouping locally; and, in returning to any region, the reader is referred to what he has already learned of events on the same soil. Thus, there is no confusion in his mind as to either place or time. It is hoped that the present volume will be found ade quate in every respect for the teaching of the elementary history of the period covered. It may be noted that it conforms minutely to the requirements of the Fifth Grade set down in the new Elementary Syllabus of the Department of Education of the State of New York.

Download or read book A Young People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Young People's History of the United States brings to US history the viewpoints of workers, enslaved people, immigrants, women, Black people, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young people. Beginning with a look at Christopher Columbus’s arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for workers’ rights, women’s rights, and civil rights during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ending with the current protests against continued American imperialism, Zinn presents a radical new way of understanding America’s history. In so doing, he reminds readers that America’s true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals. A Young People's History of the United States is also a companion volume to The People Speak, the film adapted from A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States.
