Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Glory of Our Youth as Portrayed in the Events and Movements That Have Chiefly Distinguished the Marvelous Advance of the American Nation From Colony to World Power: The Fascinating Story Interesting as a Romance, of the Notable Occurrences and Decisive Actions in the Political, Social, Religious, Economic, and Industrial Life of the People, From the Birth of the Republic to the Current Year
Most frankly and happily it is admitted that the aim has been to present the various subjects treated in a popular manner. But with the most determined insistence it is maintained that such a treatment need not, and has not been allowed to, in any degree involve a loss of dignity in the style of writing, nor of a keen sense of the difference between what appeals to a vicious and uneducated public sentiment and that which ministers to the highest ideals, loftiest aspirations, and purest life of an intelligent and right-minded people. The author has had in mind the hundreds of thousands of average homes throughout this great land; and unless he has lamentably failed in his labors the work will be found intellectu ally and morally enlightening and helpful, and, best of all, stimulating in an unusual degree of a desire to know more of the history and true greatness of this, our home-land.
