Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How Our Grandfathers Lived Volumes I and II of this series of Source Readers deal with periods beyond the memory of living persons; but the romance and interest of American life and American history are not at all confined to the beginnings, and this volume relates chiefly to the first half of the nineteenth century. Our grandfathers and even our fathers passed lives full of interest and of unusual incidents: the school, the field, the forest, the hunt, the stagecoach, and the steamboat are already remote from our present generation. Distinct historic incidents are also abundant, especially during the War of 1812, and have been freely used in this volume. The selections on American education will be novel to most children, and represent some picturesque conditions, now for the most part outgrown. Special pains have been taken to illustrate the remarkable life of the western frontier, now fast Becoming only a tradition. As in the other volumes of the series, nothing has been added to these extracts, although there are omissions and occasionally changes of words or phrases.
