Book Description

Excerpt from New History of Texas for Schools: Also for General Reading and for Teachers Preparing Themselves for Examination As has often been said, there is no State in the Union whose history presents such varied and romantic scenes as does that of Texas. This alone would recommend it to the general reader and the earnest student. But there is in addition to its interest a weighty reason why every school in the State should give Texas History a place in its course study. No one who learns well the lessons therein taught can fail to become a better and wiser citizen. This little volume attempts to picture the principal events in our history in a style easy and natural, yet vivid. It was written from the stand-point of a teacher, who believes that success in teaching history demands not only a live instructor, but also a live text-book, If the execution has fallen short of the design, the author begs the charitable criticisms of her co-workers, and assures them they may hope for better things in future editions. No map is given, since any teacher may secure an excellent wall map of Texas, free of charge, by applying to Central Railroad offices.
