Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of a Great Nation, or Our Country's Achievements, Military, Naval, Political, and Civil
To present the great facts of our country's history in an attractive and readable form has been the object of this work. That the His tory of the United States is not more generally read arises from the fact that the works which ordinary readers find are overloaded With details and interrupted by tedious disquisitions. Others seem writ ten from a sectional, political, or other stand-point, and the writer's prejudices are thrust before the reader at every page.
