Excerpt from The Child's Book of American History This book is a supplementary history intended for use in the fourth and fifth grades of our public schools, or for boys and girls from ten to fifteen years of age. It is also designed as a collateral reading book in connection with the study of one or more of the many elementary textbooks on American history. The authors have described in some detail a few of the more dramatic and picturesque events in the history of our country from the earliest times to the present day. The story form has been freely used because teachers of experience know that such material has the unmistakable mark of reality and that it is instinct with "the magic of life."

Excerpt from First Lessons in American History The author of this book has endeavored to meet the demand for a simple history of America, suitable for children of ten to twelve years of age, many of whom study no other text on the subject. In order to present a book of the most value the narrative treats of men who influence has been controlling in the destiny of the nation, but does not make of the their lives a series of hero stories. The facts of their lives and incidents of their careers are presented in sufficient fullness to reveal their personal traits and aid a pupil to understand their contributions to the current of events. The facts that are presented in the text are those which appear most important for child to know. It is sincerely hoped that the style of the narrative is simple enough for pupils of the fourth or fifth grade to read with ease and attractive enough for them to read with pleasure.

Excerpt from Stories of Early American History For children of tender years, the material must not only be concrete and colorful, but it must also be presented in language so simple that the thought can be easily grasped. If the author has succeeded in this twofold purpose, Stories of Early American History should fulfil its mission. It is hoped that the fine illustrations and the attractive typographical features of the book will help in bringing vividly before the child's mind the events recounted in the text. Another aid in making the stories real will, it is intended, be found in Some Things to Think About. These and similar questions, which will suggest themselves to the teacher, will doubtless serve to help the child in Vitalizing the life of the past and connecting it with the present and his own life. In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge my deep obliga tion to Mr. Forrest Morgan, of the Watkinson Library, Hart ford, and to Miss Elizabeth P. Peck, of the Hartford Public High School, both of whom have read the manuscript and have made many valuable suggestions and criticisms.

Excerpt from A Child's Guide to American History Man's mental powers have not grown or developed in historic times. We are no greater than were our ancestors. We live more comfortably than they only because we have added to what they bequeathed us. Each generation adds a little to what it receives from the past, and thus the conditions of the present rest on the accumulated inheritance from the ages. Were it possible to erase or destroy the past, man would be reduced to the lowest state of savagery, to the condition Of the lower animals - without tools, or clothing, or language, or traditions. A record Of the past we call History. But history is more than a record of the past; it is a study of humanity, the greatest of all studies, and is second only to the study of the human life in our own times, in which we are all unconsciously engaged every day.

Excerpt from A First Book in American History The problems given at the beginning of each Chapter state these clearly, and the first few days of the term may well be given to a comprehensive pre-view of the entire book. It is never too early to accustom children to thinking of the great sweep of history through the years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
