America First: One Hundred Stories From Our Own History (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from America First: One Hundred Stories From Our Own HistoryWhen children advance beyond the nursery age, no story is so wonderful as a true story. Fiction to them is never as appealing as fact. I have often been faced with the inquiry: whether or not a story is a true one. The look of gratification, when told that it actually happened, was most satisfying to me as a story-teller.The nearer a story is to the life and traditions of the child, the more eagerly it is attended. True stories about our own people, about our neighbors and friends, and about our own country at large, are more interesting than true stories of remote places and people. We naturally are interested in our own affairs, and the nearer they are to us the greater the interest we feel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
