Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers on Land and Sea: Stories of the Eastern States and of Ocean Explorers This is the first of three volumes Of American History Stories for use in intermediate grades. It contains the accounts of the early explorers and frontiersmen along the Atlantic coast and of the voyages of the great ocean pioneers. They deal with great events and persons in the simple setting of pioneer life. The importance of these stories to American children in the intermediate grades is now fully seen. In the simple and interesting form of personal biography they photograph the liveliest scenes of our early history. European teachers may well envy us this copious stream of pioneer story. No European country has anything that can be safely compared with it in richness and value. The myths and early traditions of Europe we are making good use of in our schools, but in entering upon the field of real history, the pioneer and frontier life of America abounds in the striking scenes of simple folk life in its rude beginnings. It is easy for children to lose themselves in this frontier scenery and to partake of its spirit. These narratives are based on the most trustworthy historical documents, source materials which have been tested by our best historians, as Parkman, Fiske, Ban croft, Hart, and others. Some of the narratives are taken directly from undoubted source materials, the testimony of eye-witnesses and chief actors.

This book was released on 2002-05-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of writings of early English speaking pioneers and explorers in North America. Articles were taken from old books or internet copies of old books. When possible articles were reproduced from facsimile copies of the original printings. They are presented in chronological order, oldest first. The oldest being originally published in 1588, the newest in 1885.The authors wrote the articles in English. With the exception of Audubon, all were native born English speakers. Of course, there were many pioneers and explorers that didn't write or speak English. However, articles written in other languages are not included, because the book's audience is English speaking and the goal of the book is to provide articles in the words of the authors, not in the words of translators. I have also not included writings that have been extensively edited, corrected, or rewritten.The English of the oldest articles was different from our present English. The older English used shapes for letters that we no longer use. For example Hariot, Bradford and Penn used long s's. These long s's look disconcertingly similar to our present day f's. Here, these have been converted to present day s's. It makes reading much easier. Most old spellings, misspellings, and grammar have been left as they were. Although it is harder to read the older English, reading it will give a better taste of the authors' original thoughts. Also, the reader might enjoy learning to speak and write as was done years ago.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough rediscovers an important and dramatic chapter in the American story—the settling of the Northwest Territory by dauntless pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would come to define our country. As part of the Treaty of Paris, in which Great Britain recognized the new United States of America, Britain ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and most importantly, the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers set out from New England for the Northwest Territory under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran General Rufus Putnam. They settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. McCullough tells the story through five major characters: Cutler and Putnam; Cutler’s son Ephraim; and two other men, one a carpenter turned architect, and the other a physician who became a prominent pioneer in American science. They and their families created a town in a primeval wilderness, while coping with such frontier realities as floods, fires, wolves and bears, no roads or bridges, no guarantees of any sort, all the while negotiating a contentious and sometimes hostile relationship with the native people. Like so many of McCullough’s subjects, they let no obstacle deter or defeat them. Drawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. This is a revelatory and quintessentially American story, written with David McCullough’s signature narrative energy.
