An Elementary History of Our Country (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Elementary History of Our CountryThough an introductory history must necessarily be limited in size, it is believed that there can be gained from this volume a definite knowledge of the main events in the history of our land, some idea of the causes of those events, and an acquaintance, sympathetic though slight, with the men who stood behind the events; and that the book will thus serve as an introduction to a later and more extended study of the growth and development of our country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
