Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Missouri: From the Earliest Times to the Present My History was the first school history of Missouri ever published. It had grown out of a conviction that I could not render a more valuable service to the boys and girls in school than by writing a connected narrative of the heroic deeds and great achievements of the great people who had built up their beloved commonwealth. When the State Text-Book Commission met in 1897 to adopt a series of books for use in public schools, I submitted it for adoption. One day I received a telegram from a Commissioner requesting me to come to Jefferson City where the Commission was in session. On my arrival I was told that no satisfactory book on the subject of Civil Government had been submitted, and that the Commissioners were pleased with my History but doubted their legal authority to adopt a history of Missouri as a separate study, since the law stated text-books on the subject of history of the United States and civil government should be adopted, but did not use the words "History of Missouri." They were of the opinion that if a civil government and history of Missouri could be combined into one book, it could, under the law, be adopted as a civil government, and it was suggested that I write a Civil Government, both of the United States and the State of Missouri, and submit it in manuscript form, along with an agreement to print it as the first part and the History as the second part of one combined book. I did so, and the one volume entitled "The Civil Government of the United States and State of Missouri" and History of Missouri was published, and at once found a large place in the schools. These facts explain why the Civil Government and History were first published as one book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
