Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Colonial Massachusetts Massachusetts! - What words can fittingly introduce the colony whose ideals have become the ideals of the nation; and whose men had such a large part in leading the resistance to oppression and in standing for those principles that made the American colonies a free nation? For seven years, from the age of 14 to 21, I sailed in and out of Boston Harbor and gazed with awe and admiration upon Bunker Hill monument, as I saw it rise above the waters of Massachusetts Bay or sink beneath the horizon, as our little fishing vessel sailed to and fro on the very waters over which the Mayflower came. For eleven years, as Superintendent of Schools, I lived almost within the shadow of that monument. Faneuil Hall; the old State House; the old South Church; North Church; "the Charlestown Shore;" Concord and Lexington; "the rude bridge that spanned the flood;" Salem; Provincetown Harbor; Plymouth Rock; State Street; Dorchester Heights; Battery Wharf - these all became a part of my life through personal associations, while I lived over in imagination the scenes and events that gave them their place in American History. Bradford, Alden, Standish; Hancock, Franklin, Adams; Otis, Paul Revere, General Warren - these seemed like living men. I knew them. That the pupils might gain something of the patriotic impulse that comes through personal association with historic scenes and events, I outlined a series of historic excursions, or field days, to be taken by all seventh and eighth grade pupils, as part of their grammar school course. This was for pupils living in the vicinity of Boston. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
