Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our First Century
The text-books used in the schools must cover the entire history of our Country within a very brief space. They must, therefore, confine themselves to a brief recital of facts, chie?y political and military. The larger his tories, in which life, manners, customs and the conditions governing them are treated with admirable scholarship, must of necessity be too voluminous and too costly to be available for the use of busy readers.
