Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the United States for Schools
The central fact of American history is growth - territorial growth, industrial growth, political growth. It has been my aim, therefore, to show a growing nation: to picture the successive advances of the wave of American civilization that was always moving toward the West; to trace the development of our' commerce and industrv from their small and rude beginnings. In the seventeenth cen tury to their present grand proportions; to follow the steps taken by the people in their struggles with problems of government until they at last evolved the greatest and best democracy under the sun.
