Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great Southerners, Vol. 1: Being a Series of Short Sketches of Statesmen, Military Captains, Orators, Jurists, Preachers, Men of Literature, Etc The most enlarging of all studies is the study of human history, and all history is at bottom only biography. It was with this view that the editor of the Children´s Visitor, in which the following sketches first appeared, arranged for their preparation. Mr. Will T. Hale, who has acquired a national reputation for both his prose and poetic writings, was chosen to do the work on account of his genius for historic treatment, combined with a broad and generous spirit, which was a guaranty against any offensive sectionalism. How well he has done his work has already been attested by the unusual popularity of the sketches while appearing currently in the Visitor, and by a corresponding demand for their publication in this permanent form. It was deemed wise to establish such a series as that which bears the title "Great Southerners" for the purpose of more accurately informing our children and young people touching those men who in various life works have reflected credit upon the land which gave them birth. There are several reasons which justify a special treatment of those great men who have belonged to our own section. Only two of the reasons need here be mentioned: 1. The Southern and Southwestern States of the Union constitute in an important sense a distinct commonwealth of thought and sentiment, and therefore demand a somewhat special treatment.
