Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's Guide to Biography American-Men of Action I am hoping to see the rise, some day, of a new school Of biography, which will not hesitate to dis card the inessential, which will disdain to glorify its subject, whose first duty it will be to strip away the falsehoods of tradition and to show us the real man, not hiding his imperfections and yet giving them no more prominence than they really bore in his life; which will realize that to the man nothing was of importance except the growth of his spirit, and that to us nothing else concerning him is of any mo ment; which will show him to us illumined, as it were, from within, and which will count any other sort of life-history as vain and worthless. What we need is biography by X-ray, and not by tallow candle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Download or read book The True Story of Abraham Lincoln the American written by Elbridge S. Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Story of Abraham Lincoln, the American: Told for Boys and Girls Columbus the discoverer of our country and Washington the father of our country - these two famous ones has this series of "Children's Lives of Great Men" recalled for young Americans. Now comes the third and crowning figure in the series - that of Abraham Lincoln, the savior of his country and, above all others, - the American. His story is as marvellous as a fairy tale and yet as simple as the truth. Sprung from nothing he rose to the highest eminence, and died a martyr for liberty, union and the rights of man. Upon his life, through four terrible years, hung the destinies of this republic and the redemption of a race. Today, the world reveres him as one of the most eminent rulers of any time; the future will yet place him where he rightly belongs - one of the worlds greatest men, perhaps, the greatest. For the boys and girls of America, brought up in the atmosphere of liberty, of justice and of patriotism, Abraham Lincoln the man of the people, has an especial claim to reverence. He stands as a type - as, before all others, the American. In the preface to the "The True Story of George Washington," the writer quoted, for boys and girls, a sentiment from one of the noblest of American thinkers and authors, James Russell Lowell. This introduction to the "True Story of Abraham Lincoln," can not be more fittingly closed than with the splendid tribute of this same prophetic poet, in his noble "Commemorative Ode," which every boy and girl of America should some day read: "These all are gone; and standing like a tower, Our children shall behold his fame, The kindly, earnest, brave, far-seeing man, Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not blame, New birth of our new soil, the first American."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Real Americans Years ago a young couple were living on East Twentieth Street, New York City. They had much to make them happy: they had money a-plenty and every comfort they could wish for; they had a little daughter, Constance, to make sunshine in the home. And then, one autumn day - it was October 27, 1858 - a new treasure came into their keeping. It was a baby son. "He shall bear his father's name," the parents decided. So it came to pass that this child was called Theodore Roosevelt, Junior. While Theodore and Constance were both very young, their brother Elliott and their sister Corinne were added to the happy family. The four children made it a lively household.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's Guide to Biography American-Men of Action No doubt most of you think biography dull reading.You would much rather sit down with a good story. But have you ever thought what a story is? It is nothing but a bit of make-believe biography. Let us see, in the first place, just what biography means. It is formed from two Greek words, "bios", meaning life, and "graphein", meaning to write: life-writing. In other words, a biography is the story of the life of some individual. Now what the novelist does is to write the biographies of the people of his story; not usually from the cradle to the grave, but for that crucial period of their careers which marked some great success or failure; and he tries to make them so life-like and natural that we will half-believe they are real people, and that the things he tells about really happened. Sometimes, to accomplish this, he even takes the place of one of his own characters, and tells the story in the first person, as Dickens does in "David Copperfield."

Download or read book The Story of Democracy written by Sydney Eleanor Ingraham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Democracy: Told for Boys and Girls It is believed that the study of democracy in evolution is the most attractive to children and the most scientific method of study. As citizens, the Children must learn to think in terms of the past and of the future. The title of this book, The Story of Democracy, is not entirely satisfactory, because it might perhaps be misunderstood to imply that there is only one story of democracy, and that a child's reader is endeavoring to tell it all, which would be most absurd. But it suggests, at least, the purpose to which the book is dedicated that every American child should be able to picture the long journey of mankind towards democracy as the story of the struggle for a great cause in which he himself, or she herself, will finally take an active part. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.

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.
