Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery of the Great West Of La Salle. A collection of extraordinary richness grew gradually upon his hands. In the course of my own inquiries, I owed much to his friendly aid; but his collections, as a whole, remained inac cessible, since he naturally wished to be the first to make known the results of his labors. An attempt to induce Congress to furnish him with the means of printing documents so interesting to American history was made in 1870 and 1871, by Henry Harrisse, Esq., aided by the American minister at Paris; but it unfortunately failed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Great West As a youth Theodore Roosevelt was an enthusiastic student of Western history and pioneer types. Later, as ranchman and hunter, he grew to know intimately and to love deeply the rough, free life of the Western plains. Mr. Roosevelt's interest in history probably was inherited, but his fondness for outdoor life grew out of his grateful love for his foster mother - the green earth - who took the delicate youth in her rough, but kindly, embrace and gave him a sound body and a clear vision. It was during the quiet evenings, and the otherwise idle hours, spent at Elkhorn," his Dakota ranch, that Theodore Roosevelt penned most of the fascinating pictures of frontier and ranch life that make up this present volume. "The Backwoodsmen of the Alleghanies" and "Lewis and Clark and the Exploration of the Far West" are from The Winning of the West," permission to republish here having kindly been granted by G. P. Putnam's Sons. The other stories are from Hero Tales" and Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail." Some of these stories have been condensed from the original version for reasons of space.

This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of the Great West 1512-1883 Although primarily designed for young people, the fact has 'not been overlooked that the same want exists among adult readers, to whom an intelligent view of the subject, in a little space, is nowhere accessible. For the purpose in hand, the simplest language consistent with clearness has been made use of, though I have never hesitated to employ the right word, whenever I could com mand it, even if it were of more than three syllables. As in the Making of New England, this book aims to occupy a place between the larger and lesser histories, to so condense the exhaustive narrative as to give it greater vitality, or so extend what the narrow limits of the school history often leave obscure as to supply the deficiency. Thus, when teachers have a particular topic before them, it is intended that a chapter on the same subject be read to fill out the bare outlines of the common-school text-book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great West People who never travel away from their own homes are very apt, we are told, to think of their village, their town, their city, as the great and important spot upon this earth. In these days of books and newspapers, one does not grow quite so narrow-minded as that, I think, even if he docs "forever stay at home." Still, we need to be wide awake and generous, quick to see, and willing to hear, or we might wake up some day, and, like old Rip Van Winkle, find a world grown up around us of which we had not dreamed. It is, of course, a grand thing to be loyal to one's own state; to love it a little better than any other state; and to always "stand up" for it, and never allow it to be slandered in one's presence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great West, in Fact and Fiction As Turner suggests, station yourself at Cumberland Gap, and again a century later at South Pass in the Rockies and, watching, describe the procession advancing westward. Comment on the role of the trader and the hunter, the means of transportation (noting the initial importance of buffalo and Indian trails), the advancing centers of frontier attraction and settlement, the later' influx of foreign born, and the ultimate strong mix ture of races and tongues. Rather poetically, Turner expresses the opinion that the forest clearings of pioneer days have been the seed plots of American character. Discuss his conception Of the Western pioneers' characteristics and ideals, noting his belief in the dominant role played by free land in the development of character, and with particular attention to his discussion of the new democracy that came, stark and strong and full of life, from the American forest. Nowhere more than in the West, Turner believes, and particularly in the Mississippi Valley, did the fundamental pioneer ideals of individualism and of a democracy grow through the years into sharper opposition. Dis cuss, noting especially the vast opportunities in a land of stupendous natural resources Offered by the squatter ideal to the strong, and the later expression of each of the two ideals: the one, in the rise of captains of industry and of powerful combinations; the other, in what Turner refers to as successive and related tidal waves of popular demand for legislative safeguards to rights and social ideals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The excavation of the shipwreck La Belle grabbed public attention in Texas, across the nation, and overseas. Especially enthralled with the discoveries from the ship were schoolchildren. Pam Wheat-Stranahan, named by the Texas Historical Commission to head the educational efforts associated with the excavation’s traveling exhibit, continued her work on this project after leaving the THC. Now, her teacher’s guide, which includes a DVD of acclaimed documentary director Alan Govenar’s films The Shipwreck of La Belle and Dreams of Conquest (about Fort St. Louis and Presidio La Bahia), is available for use in an exploration and discovery unit. Ideal for grades 4–8, the teacher’s guide and films are designed for use with the book From a Watery Grave. Wheat-Stranahan has incorporated the standards for national social studies and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. The resulting guide is user-friendly for teachers and provides interactive learning opportunities for students not just about Texas history but also concerning the age of discovery and the precursors to the American nation.

I left him down in the nave by the door, while I walked up to the chancel. I was busied there for a few moments, and when I turned to go out, he had advanced half-way up the middle aisle, and was standing where the declining sun, streaming through the great painted west window, threw a golden light around his curly head. And a tiny little oh jcet he was in that great, quiet church. It was very still. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Towns of the Western States In presenting to the reading public this fourth volume in the series of Historic Towns, a volume which brings the series to a close, it is in order for the editor to call attention to the necessarily large measure of liberty accorded to the contributors in their treatment of the records of the several towns. With several of his co-laborers the editor has on one point or another found himself at variance. Examples of such difference of conclusions are presented in the references to the Mormons and to the Mound-builders. The editor bears in mind, however, the essential difference between editorial responsibilities and those belonging to the writers of the papers.
