Excerpt from A Pictorial History of the United States of America, From the Earliest Discoveries, by the Northmen, in the Tenth Century, to the Present Time: Comprising a Description of the Aborigines, Their Manners, Customs and Antiquities; And a Full Account of the Western States; Their Settlements, Rapid Progress, Etc
As a necessary introduction to the work, it has been judged requisite to give a pretty copious account of the original inhabitants of the western continent, and of the earliest conquests and settlements by other nations than the English, both in North and South America. It is believed that the present History comprises a more com plete and accurate body of facts, in relation to the history of the United States and its subsidiary topics, than any volume of its size that has yet made its appearance among us. A plain and intelligible style of narration has been observed throughout the performance; and the sentiments and moral re ections which occasionally fall from the pen of the narrator, will, we trust, be found true to virtue, patriotism, and philanthropy.
