Excerpt from America's Story: For America's Children America's Story for America's Children is intended to prepare for the regular study of history and to supplement it. With this in view, care has been taken to give prominence to the elements of life and personality and picturesqueness, so as to develop centres of interest which more advanced and systematic study will bring into proper relationship. The books present in vivid and dramatic style a series of pictures of our past, which sacrifice nothing of historic accuracy, and are replete with elements that will attract and hold the interest of the learner. The Beginner's Book has already introduced the third and fourth year classes to the picturesque and personal incidents connected with the leading events in our history, North and South and East and West. In the second volume the stories of the great discoverers and explorers are related in systematic order. The pomp and pride of the Spanish, the good work of some of the monks, the simple life and customs of the natives, and the sturdy temper of the early English, Dutch, and French explorers, are all portrayed, and the pupil will carry to his later study of history a set of mental impressions which will greatly lighten his own work as well as that of his teacher.
