ARRANGED FOR STORY-TELLING AND READING ALOUD AND FOR THE CHILDRENS OWN READING BY FRANCES JENKINS OLCOTT WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY The Riverside Press Cambridge{vi} COPYRIGHT, 1922, BY FRANCES JENKINS OLCOTT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED The Riverside Press CAMBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. {vii} GRATEFULLY DEDICATED TO FRANCES MARY JENKINS OLCOTT January 25 Here are over 200 stories celebrating 23 great birthdays of patriot-founders and upbuilders of the Republics of both North and South America. In the stories are more than 75 historical characters, men, women, and children. The arrangement follows the school-year, beginning in October with Columbus. The book-cover is dressed in George Washingtons colours, scarlet and white. These tales are not packed full of dry facts and dates, boring to children. Instead, they treat history in a manner appealing to boys and girls. For it is the strong personalities that moved in the big events of the world, it is the forceful lives of the men themselves, their preparation in boyhood for successful careers, their struggles for right, their heroism, devotion, and high adventure, as well as the why and wherefore of things, which make history an intense reality to children and young folk. American history treated after such a fashion, may be used educationally to develop a fine, true type of Americanism. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
