Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Young People´s History of Maine: From Its Earliest Discovery to the Final Settlement of Its Boundaries in 1842 In this little volume I have endeavored to present faithfully and clearly the beginnings of our State, what manner of life the early residents led, and what notable events have marked the progress of its affairs. Though the book is devoted wholly to setting forth the deeds of the people of Maine, it has not been my purpose to foster state above national pride, neither to prolong any bitterness toward those whom our forefathers met in mortal strife; but, by exhibiting the excellent record of the Pine Tree State, to furnish grounds of justification for that regard which all would like to entertain toward their native region, or the home of their adoption. I have endeavored so to treat the subject as to make the lessons of our brief history useful to the youngest readers, without descending to such trivial details or trifling manner as would prove unpleasant to those more mature. The proper limits of the volume would not admit so much fulness of incident as might be desired by some; and in making a selection I have preferred such as best illustrate their time and are also closely connected with the movement of affairs; and in this respect I think my work will be sustained by those accurately conversant with our historical records. As the nature of this history does not require it, I have avoided burdening its pages with references to authorities.
