Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Georgia HistoryThe author has tried to present in this book the leading facts of the history of Georgia, and he has spared neither time nor trouble in endeavoring to obtain them. Leading facts in the history of the United States are interwoven in the narrative wherever the closeness of their relation to Georgia history makes it necessary or desirable.The book is written for pupils from twelve to fifteen years of age. Though not descending to childish narrative, the author has endeavored to make the story easily understood. But it cannot be mastered without study, for without study nothing really valuable in education can ever be acquired. The narrative that is merely pleasing is not always the most serviceable or the most likely to be retained in the memory.Great care has been taken and great expense incurred in the pictorial illustrations of the book. Pictures of many Georgia men are given for the first time in a history, special attention having been paid to the work of securing good likenesses of those who as generals led Georgians brigades in the Civil War. The faces of these commanders in the great- struggle are thus presented to the youth of the State, who, will look upon them with gratification and pride.To teachers, the author desires to suggest that the book be used as a reader in the seventh and eighth grades and in the high schools. After a chapter has been read, the questions at the end may be of help in the work of review, while the 0 "Topics" may be found serviceable as supplying subjects for written exercises. By using the text at the rate of two chapters a week, the book can be mastered in a year.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
