Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Makers of the Nation The course of study for fifth-year pupils, as outlined by the Committee of Eight of the American Historical Association, comprises one hundred years of our national life, from the struggle opening the Revolution to the death of Lincoln. The century 1765 to 1865 offers ten decades crowded with great characters, filled with momentous events, rich in moral and economic content. Heroes of all types are here: the frontiersmen, Boone and Clark, Crockett and Kit Carson; the statesmen, Adams and Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln; the inventors, Whitney and Morse; the men of great business sagacity, Peter Cooper and DeWitt Clinton; the generals, Lee and Jackson, Grant and Sheridan. Furthermore, a study of five mammoth industries of the United States offers a closing chapter of economic value, in harmony with the present day recognition of the importance of industrial history. The endeavor in this book has been to present historical facts by clear, vivid narrative, which at times becomes dramatic in character. Moreover, the language is such as is easily read and understood by a child of ten. Whenever practicable, the causal relation is emphasized. The Committee of Eight makes the following recommendation: "In Grades IV and V the biographical element should receive emphasis.
