After Marshall, Sparks, and Irving have written, who indeed need take up the subject Yet it was suggested that a boys' life of this great man might still be welcomed by the public, and would find readers among the rising generation those who would shrink from a larger work, and yet could find enjoyment in a little book like this.

Download or read book A Boy's Life of Booker T. Washington (Classic Reprint) written by W. C. Jackson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Boy's Life of Booker T. Washington The single aim in telling the story that follows is to interest boys in the life of Booker T. Washington. This man's life was of such singular and vital importance in the history of his own race and in the history of our country that it ought to be familiar to all the youth of the land, and to the negro youth especially, since it is the greatest inspiration to the latter to be found in the annals of American history. There has been no attempt to be original or exhaustive in the treatment. While a great mass of material has been consulted, it should be frankly stated that the story follows very closely the material found in Washington's Up from Slav ery and My Larger Education and Scott and Stowe's Booker T. Washington: Builder of a Civilization. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The True Story of George Washington Called the Father of His Country (Classic Reprint) by : Elbridge Streeter Brooks
Download or read book The True Story of George Washington Called the Father of His Country (Classic Reprint) written by Elbridge Streeter Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Story of George Washington Called the Father of His Country As the second in the series of "Children's Lives of Great Men," following the life of Columbus, the discoverer, comes the true story of George Washington, the founder of the country which to-day calls him its father. America has had no greater, no nobler, no truer man. Every land has honored him, every race has sung his praise. As the years go by, his real worth becomes more apparent and needs none of the overwrought little stories that have so long been told to boys and girls, to strengthen his character or give point to his record. The true story of his life is fine enough and full enough to interest, to inspire and to help, without adding the things that would make a prig of the boy and a god of the man who was always a truth-teller, truth-liver, and truth-doer, both as boy and man. One of the best of modern Americans, James Russell Lowell, who was born on the same day of the month as Washington, February twenty-second, wrote, shortly before his death, to a schoolgirl whose class proposed noticing his own birthday: "Whatever else you do on the twenty-second of February, recollect, first of all, that on that day a really great man was born, and do not fail to warm your hearts with the memory of his service, and to brace your minds with the contemplation of his character. The rest of us must wait uncovered till he be served." Which is a good text for those boys and girls who may be led to read this true story of George Washington. The name of Washington is one which America will ever reverence, and one, before which, American boys and girls may well stand, hats off, "uncovered" in memory, respect and love.

It is designed mainly for the boys of America, but not for them exclusively. The boyhood of Lieu tenant-general ulysses sidney grant, of the United States Army, is depicted at length in its pages, for the purpose of showing, by the record of his youthful history, how much the characteristics of the boy are developed in the man.

The age grew a crop of heroes the common stature of manly Virtue was not enough; the standard of courage and valor was lifted; the cowards there would have passed for brave men elsewhere. And the women, too, became fired with the Old Spartan spirit. We all know the famous reply Of the Spar tan mother to her son, who complained that his sword was too short; Take a step nearer!

Download or read book All-American Boy written by Larzer Ziff and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his celebrated appearance, hatchet in hand, in Parson Mason Locke Weems’s Life of Washington to Booth Tarkington’s Penrod, the all-American boy was an iconic figure in American literature for well over a century. Sometimes he was a “good boy,” whose dutiful behavior was intended as a model for real boys to emulate. Other times, he was a “bad boy,” whose mischievous escapades could be excused either as youthful exuberance that foreshadowed adult industriousness or as deserved attacks on undemocratic pomp and pretension. But whether good or bad, the all-American boy was a product of the historical moment in which he made his appearance in print, and to trace his evolution over time is to take a fresh view of America’s cultural history, which is precisely what Larzer Ziff accomplishes in All-American Boy. Ziff looks at eight classic examples of the all-American boy—young Washington, Rollo, Tom Bailey, Tom Sawyer, Ragged Dick, Peck’s “bad boy,” Little Lord Fauntleroy, and Penrod—as well as two notable antitheses—Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caulfield. Setting each boy in a rich cultural context, Ziff reveals how the all-American boy represented a response to his times, ranging from the newly independent nation’s need for models of democratic citizenship, to the tales of rags-to-riches beloved during a century of accelerating economic competition, to the recognition of adolescence as a distinct phase of life, which created a stage on which the white, middle-class “solid citizen” boy and the alienated youth both played their parts.
