Half-hours with American History

Résumé du livre

Of histories of America there exists an abundant store, some of them attempting to cover the whole period, others limited in scope, while many are devoted to some single topic of the varied panorama of national life. Some of these works are noted for brilliancy of style, others for conscientiousness in research, others as being written by participants in the events described, while to still others quaintness of manner or antiquity of date gives a certain value. -- Preface.
