The History Teacher's Magazine, Vol. I, No. 9, May, 1910

The purpose of this volume is to present an adequate description of all essential things in the upbuilding of the country, and to supplement this by good illustrations and maps. Political geography, being the background of all historical knowledge, is made a special topic, while the development of government, foreign relations, the diplomatic adjustment of controversies, and social and economic conditions, have been duly emphasized. All sections of the Union, North, East, South, West, and Far West, receive fair treatment. Much attention is paid to the causes and results of our various wars, but only the most significant battles and campaigns have been described. The book aims to make distinct the character and public services of some great Americans, brief accounts of whose lives are given in special sections of the text. Towards the end a chapter sums up the services of America to mankind. The aim has been to make the narrative so interesting in style as to attract the student, without sacrificing accuracy or proportion. For the sake of impressiveness it has been necessary to concentrate attention upon a relatively small number of topics, but it is hoped that no important step in the development of modern Europe has been slighted. English history has been interwoven with continental history, and colonial development has received careful treatment. Great pains have been taken to make the bibliographical apparatus really useful to the undergraduate. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
