Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Discovery in America The explorers of this continent were great men in their day, and they have made a great mark on the his tory of the land they made known. For more than four centuries their work has been kept up and it is not yet complete, for there are areas still in America on which the foot of the white man has not been set. From Columbus, who daringly crossed an unknown ocean to discover an unknown continent, to Peary, who in our own day has time and again plunged into the seas of ice in restless quest of the mysterious pole, the list is a long one and is filled with names of valiant and unconquerable men. Heroes of discovery are these in the highest sense, and it is fitting that the story of their deeds should be put upon record. This we have sought to do, in as full a sense as the space at our command permits, endeavoring to omit none of the great discoverers, none of the leaders in this great drama of the opening of a new world. It is hoped that readers will find these tales full of interest and inspira tion and gain from them an adequate sense of what was accomplished in the great work of exploring a continent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discoverers and Pioneers of America The planet that heralds the sunrise, may be a volcanic waste, like the moon, or scathed with the fires of sin, like the earth; and so the morning stars of heroism, that guided and illumined the first advances of a noon-day civilization to this Western World, were not all as cultivated and pure as those followers of the one bright and morning Star, who colonized the shores of Plymouth and the banks of the Delaware. Whoever was illustrious, for any reason, in the early history of America, may be included in the number; and some of the most promiment of these, particularly they who may represent different portions of North America, have been selected as subjects of the following sketches. A number of characters, deserving an equal place with some of those now chosen, were omitted for want of room.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Days in Old New York This book should perhaps have been "intituled" Colonial Days in New Netherland, for much of the life described herein was in the days of Dutch rule. But it was New Netherland for scarce half a century, and the name is half-forgotten, though it remained, both in outer life and in heart, a Dutch colonie, even when the province was New York and an English governor had control. In New Netherland, as in every place where the Dutch plant a colony, as in South Africa to-day, Dutch ways, Dutch notions, the Dutch tongue lingered long. To this day, Dutch influence and Dutch traits, as well as Dutch names, are ever present and are a force in New York Life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discoverers and Explorers During the time the pupil is acquiring this ele mentary knowledge of the world as a whole, certain facts of history may be interrelated with the geo graphical study. According to the plan already suggested, it will be seen that the pupil is carried out from a study of the limited area of land and water about him to an idea of the world as a sphere, with its great distribution of land and water. In this transference he soon comes to perceive how small a part his hitherto known world forms of the great earth-sphere itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of Early Discoverers Many years ago, thousands of years ago, the people of Europe used to talk about an island which they called Atlantis. They said this island lay far to the west, in the Atlantic Ocean. And, the truth is, that ocean was so named for this island. Atlantis was said to be a most lovely island, with high mountains, wide rivers, and multitudes of singing birds. Flowers grew everywhere, and the weather was always fair. Diamonds and other precious gems could be picked up anywhere about the island, and Neptune, the sea-god, had a most beautiful palace right in the centre of it. Best of all, the people who lived there were always good and happy. But I never heard of anybody who ever really saw this island. Sometimes, people, as they stood On the western shores of Europe, thought they saw it. It lay along the horizon quite plainly, they thought. But it always went away again. And sometimes the sailors thought they saw it too; but when they turned their boats toward it, 10! It was gone. And this is the way it played hide-and-seek, and nobody ever caught it. There was a good man who lived about a thousand years be fore. Columbus, a man so good he was called Saint Brandon. He was always doing good to' people. And when he heard about Atlantis, he wanted to go there and do good to the people. So he sailed with another good man, Saint Malo. But of course, he did not find Atlantis, though he found another island which was ever after called by his name - the island of Saint Brandon. But the droll thing is that nobody could ever after find that island of Saint Brandon again. A great many people have tried to find it. Even as late as 1721 a ship sailed from the Island of Teneriffe in search of it. For the people of the Canary Islands fancied they saw it, some times, about a hundred miles to the west. And, it is said, that even to this day, they sometimes think they see its mountain-tops above the At lantic waves. And this is the second hide-and-seek Island.
