A delightful narrative of American History!<\/h3>\n

Settle back with these stories of America\u2019s years and watch your children\u2019s eyes light up with interest and patriotism. Mr. Morris\u2019s narratives, originally published in 1901, make you feel as if you are listening to a kindly grandfather recounting tales from his past. And now additional chapters have been added to bring this history up to present day. Volume 1 presents stories from Columbus through the Alamo (about 1850).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is written for the boys and girls of our land, but many of their fathers and mothers may find it pleasant and useful to read. There are hundreds who do not have time to read large histories, which try to tell all that has taken place. For those, this little history will be of great service, in showing them how, from a few half-starved settlers on a wild coast, this great nation has grown up.\u201d<\/p>\n
