Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Lessons in American History
In this text I have told the story of America as I think it ought to be presented to beginners. Since children are always interested in the lives of the great, I have treated the subject on its biographical side. The story centers around the men who have been leaders in American life. But the book is more than a mere series of bio graphies; it is in a true sense a history of our country's growth.
