Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Makers of Virginia History Virginia has been called the Mother of States and of Statesmen - a compliment justly due the Old Dominion. In this little book an effort has been made to give biographical sketches of some of those great leaders who have placed Virginia in the forefront of American states. One great difficulty, however, has presented itself to the author in preparing these sketches: the impossibility of treating the many great men whom our state has produced. When we consider, in ad dition to those who are treated here, such names as Morgan the Thunderbolt, Wythe, Giles, the Barbours, Cary, Carrington, the many Lees, Doddridge, Baldwin, Tazewell, Taylor, the Masons, Stewart, Leigh, Grayson and scores of others, there seems to be no end to Virginia's distinguished sons. Each locality in the state undoubtedly has some citizen who can truly rank as a maker of Virginia history, though his name is not men tioned in this book. Our purpose, therefore, has been to select only a few characters in the different periods of our history, and to narrate the chief events in their lives in such a way as to give the story of Virginia history from 1607 to the present day. We believe that the best way to teach V.rginia history is by holding up before the boys and girls the deeds of those men who have done so much in the making of our history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of Virginia A very practical difficulty in the preparation of a text book on history exists in the fact that the length of the school session varies so widely in different locali ties. To meet, as far as it is possible to do, the demands of the school with a full nine months session, as well as the school with a six months session, with a single book, the School History has been so arranged that sections can be omitted without destroying the story as a whole. It is unnecessary to say that. Omissions should not be made unless necessary, but in view of actual difficulties, the text can be shortened to suit the individual school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From Virginia History, for the Young In sending out this little book, I find myself much interested in the teachers and pupils who will use it, and am impelled to write a word to my Fellow Teachers. I have tried to make my language as simple as possible, but I really do not like the books in words of three or four letters. Children should be taught language, and if the teacher will explain the meaning of the words to the class, taking them in connection with the rest of the sentence, they will be much more easily remembered than when studied in the columns of a dictionary. I would also suggest that the children be encouraged to tell the stories in their own language. They will thus learn to express themselves with ease and fluency. In the sketches of Virginians, I am greatly impressed with the salutary lessons their lives contain; young children catch so readily at things of that kind. Many a boy will dream of being a Patrick Henry, a Washington, an honest man like Monroe, or a hero like Lee or Jackson.

All issues naturally produce opposing evidences, and tend to obscure facts; but of all influences, not one has had a more absolute effect under monarchies in the past, on the history of reform movements, than politics. Policies of government were even more vigorously censored than matters pertaining to religion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Hampton and Elizabeth City County, Virginia Dear old Hampton, with its colonial, Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil War memories, has endured and survived much. We of the present Hampton, we who love this old place either because it is our home by inheritance or adoption must carry on and remember that we are its guardians and makers and that the Hampton of the future will be the sort of place we are making it today. With a deep and abiding love for the place of his birth and a keen interest in her welfare the first steps were taken by Hunter R. Booker, youngest son of Major and Mrs. George Booker, of Sherwood estate, now Langley Field, Elizabeth City County, who brought to the attention of his fellow towns and countrymen his wish that a history of Hampton be compiled as a matter of civic concern. In accord with this viewpoint the Retail Merchants Association of Hampton gave the money for this project and the history was written by Dr. Lyon G. Tyler, eminent Virginia genealogist and former President of the College of William and Mary. With commendable public spirit the Board of Supervisors of Elizabeth City County made up of Messrs. W. R. Rawlins, A. L. Dixon, Hunter R. Booker, as members, and H. H. Holt, clerk, made an appropriation for the publication of this history. In 1896 the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities put upon the old light house at Cape Henry a bronze tablet with these words upon it: "Near this spot landed April 26, 1607, Capt. Gabriell Archer, Hon. George S. Percy, Christopher Newport, Bartholomew Gosnold, Edward Maria Wingfield, with 25 others, who calling the place Cape Henry, planted a cross April 29, 1607." That same evening, toward dusk, while attempting to enter James River the colonists struck what is now known as Willoughby Spit, the eastern end of Hampton Roads, where "they found shallow water for a great way."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia a History of the People The work before the reader attempts to draw an out line of the people, and to present a succinct narrative of the events of their history. For the portrait of the Virginians, the general histories afford little assistance. The material, and above all, the coloring must be looked for elsewhere in the writings of the first adventurers, which are the relations of eye-witnesses or contempo raries in forgotten pamphlets, family papers, the curi ous laws passed by the Burgesses, and in those traditions of the people which preserve the memory of events in the absence of written records. It appeared to the writer that this was the true material of history, and that he ought not to go to the modern works as long as it existed. The likeness of the Virginians is only to be found in these remote sources; and the writer has patiently studied the dusty archives, and endeavored to extract their meaning, with no other object than to as certain the truth, and to represent the men and events in their true colors.

There were also two smaller confederacies and a few scattering tribes which maintained their independence. All the Virginia Indians belonged to the great Algonkin 1 family.
