Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States and Its People, From Their Earliest Records to the Present Time, Vol. 2 of 15 The purpose back of this book is the same as that set forth in the preface to its predecessor. The reception given to that volume has justified the important features of the original plan. I had accepted, almost as an axiom, the fact that "history cannot be written upon one scale or for one purpose only; that the needs of the public are very different from those of the professed student." I felt sure that the general public would approve an avoidance of "abysmal notes, overladen with trivial details, and told with such portentous long-windedness that only professional students, examinees, schoolmasters and their pupils really master them." I had been influenced by Frederic Harrison's statement that "our analytic and microbic Research immensely overshadows our co-ordinating activity." I thought that it was possible to write so that what was written would be actually read and easily understood and still to avoid falling into the quicksands of blunders, partisanship, and curious delusions. With such beliefs, and with a strong desire to be clear and fair and accurate, this second volume, like the first, has been written. I hope that they who read it will find that I have not failed. The tendencies of the period covered by this volume seem to me to afford a good example of the unity of our colonial history which compels its study by what Mr. Sloane well describes as "transverse sections rather than by longitudinal fibers."

Dates and events are learned and recited till a requisite examination can be passed for promotion. But History learned in this way is a drudge, an irksome task for most pupils, and is largely forgotten almost as soon as the text - book is laid aside.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the American People Since the American Revolution, the terms America and American have acquired a specific significance. They apply to the United States of America and its people; but the use of the words in this sense has been more com mon in trade and travel than in literature. There are half a dozen United States in the western world: two in North and four in South America. The words are rarely heard in association with Mexico or Brazil, yet they form a part Of the Official name Of these republics. Our own history, as a nation, shows a distinct line of cleavage in the use of the two words United States. Is our Union to be understood as consisting of the united States, or of the United States? We all agree on the use Of the words of America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States and Its People, Vol. 4 of 15: From Their Earliest Records to the Present Time Duplessis was born in Carpentras, Vaucluse, September 22, 1725, and died at Versailles, where he was conservator of the museum, April 1, 1802. He attained a high rank as a portrait painter and was received into the Academy of Painting and Sculpture in His various portraits of Franklin are among the most noted of this famous man. His first portrait was painted in 1778 for M. Donatien le Ray de Chaumont, whose petite maison, at Passy, Franklin occupied during his residence in France. It was exhibited in the Salon of 1779. Another and different portrait of Franklin was drawn by Duplessis, in pastel, in 1783, which belongs to the Hon. John Bigelow; but the majority of the portraits of Franklin, attributed to him, are copies by other hands. Much of the information we furnish upon this artist and his work is from Mr. Charles Henry Hart's Life Portrait: of Great Americans. Mr. Hart is recognized as the most eminent living authority on American historical portraiture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States This textbook is based on the plan of study recommended for the seventh and eighth grades by the Committee Of Eight Of the American Historical Association. The work for the sixth grade has been given in a shorter book, entitled Introductory American History. About two-thirds Of that book concern the beginnings in Great Britain and Europe of the civilization which the people of the United States share with other peoples Of European race. The remainder contains descriptions Of the discoveries and early settlements of America, principally in the sixteenth century. This volume for the upper grades Opens with a chapter which repeats brieﬂy the story of early discovery and settlement. The chapter may be used as a review in those schools which use the Introductory American History. Teachers who do not use that book will find in the chapter the essential facts of the period. American history is so rich and varied that the most serious ques tion which confronts the authors Of a textbook is that of selection and emphasis. If space is to be found for adequate treat ment Of the most characteristic features of our national develop ment, especially Of those within the comprehension Of the pupil Of the seventh or eighth grade, certain phases Of the political and military history Of the country must be reserved for later study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States and Its People: For the Use of Schools The proper study of mankind is man, and the real importance of history lies in the light that it throws upon humanity. For this reason liberal attention has been here given to the domestic and social life of the people, their dress, their food, their modes of thought and feeling, and their ways of making a livelihood. The succession of events in minor wars would only weary the attention, but the modes of attack and defense and the character of the arms of the various belligerents are essential facts in the history of man in this New World. And the story of the progress of civilization, as marked by the introduction of new inventions and by changes in modes of living, is of primary importance in any history written in the modern spirit. This is from first to last a schoolbook. No other aim has been in view in its preparation than that of making the best possible teaching book of American history. The length and arrangement of the chapters, the questions, topical and geo graphical studies, and skeleton outlines, as well as the reviews, are all arranged with reference to the needs of teacher and pupil. An effort has here been made to apply to history in a thorough and practical way the great Pestalozzian principle of teaching through the eye. The suggestions for blackboard illustrations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from People's History of the United States: The Progress of Civilization in North America, From the Coming of the White Races to the Last Decade of the Nineteenth Century Two reasons may be assigned for dwelling with tolerable fullness upon this part of our career as a people. The first is the inherent interest which the early ages of our history possess and the second is the dependency of our larger development upon the Colonial planting. He who dwells with care on the matters presented in our age of discovery can hardly fail to find in the same such interest as the drama furnishes to the eager and curious mind. He who studies with attention the facts present in our Colonial epoch will discover in the same the fundamental conditions of the larger national life which has arisen therefrom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the American People Miss turpin's Short History of the American People has impressed me as a work of exceptional value. The narrative is clear, impartial, spirited, and altogether read able. The prime merit of the work is, in my opinion, that events are made so to unfold that even a child will grasp the principle of cause and effect as it has worked itself out in the history of our country. This volume is not a series of detached dates and incidents, however picturesque or pleasingly told. The process of growth is brought out in every paragraph in such a way as to make the sequence of events illumining. By such treatment the reader is eu abled to contract the historical habit. As the habit of sound thinking is more than a thousand thoughts, so the historical habit of interpreting cause and effect in human experience is of far more value than any knowledge of events, however comprehensive. The author has preserved the due perspective of Ameri can history by giving a large place to the facts bearing on the industrial and social development of our people, in accordance with the changing sphere of the modern State, which is becoming more and more social both in its spirit and aims. The style is simple and yet energetic, while the appara tus for teaching, such as maps, topics for study, references for reading, and suggestive questions, are admirable.

This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
