Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Makers of Arkansas History The author wishes to see the children of Arkansas as familiar with the leading men of their own State as they are with the great men of the Nation. In presenting this little book to the public, he does so in the hope that it may contribute something toward this end. The book follows largely the biographical plan, grouping the facts of each phase of our history about some character eminent in its development. This method, compared with the chronological method, has the advantage not only of being more vivid, but of stimulating in boys and girls an ambition to excel and a legitimate state pride. The latter cannot be too much emphasized. It takes form not only in a broad patriotism, but also in the study of local history and in the erection of appropriate memorials and monuments. It is hoped that these chapters may tend to increase in Arkansas this civic spirit. Several distinguished names.have been omitted, because the author was compelled at times to choose between two or more men who were types of the same phase of the State´s history. The book is designed for use either as a textbook or as a supplementary reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
