Book Description

Excerpt from New School History of the United States This "New School History of the United States" has been prepared with the desire that it may meet the needs of those teachers who feel that they cannot give more than one year's attention to the history of our country. The author has taken great pains to make her statements accurate and clear. The most reliable authorities have been consulted on every point, and an honest effort has been made to deal justly and kindly with every part of our country. In the space allowed, it is not possible to go very much into detail, but the most important facts and the circumstances which have shaped the growth and development of this great Republic are described; many incidents and illustrations, likely to make the subject-matter interesting and easy to be remembered, are used. The author is encouraged to hope that this history will meet the approval of the wise and experienced educators of American children, and supply the want, so often expressed in the South, for an unprejudiced and truthful history of the United States.
