Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Makers of Our History Boys and girls are hero worshipers. They like to read of those who, when young, conquered difficulties and paved the way for the achievements of later life. Their own lives may be shaped by the lives of the heroes of whom they read, for knowledge of how others have overcome great obstacles often gives the reader faith in himself, and acquaintance with exalted characters often helps in the formation of high ideals. The plea of teachers has been for stories of the lives of great men so told as to make clear how the foundation of future greatness was often laid in boyhood. It is this plea that the author has kept in mind in telling these stories. "Makers of Our History" sketches briefly the lives of twenty-eight men, each of whom has had a large part in shaping the course of the American people. Of these twenty-eight great Americans the work of some lay in government, in war, or in industry, while others did their part as naturalists or as poets, or enriched and broadened our life in other fields.
