* SUMMARY:
FROM THE BOOK (p. v) “TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS - Europe and America are three thousand miles apart. The great Atlantic Ocean rolls between them. Yet the two continents have always been closely connected ever since men from Europe, sailing westward, found out that America existed. The history of our United States cannot be properly told or understood unless we begin it in Europe. Almost every American - except for the Negroes and the few remaining red Indians - is descended from people who lived in Europe. We are a nation of Europeans who have moved out of our old homes into new ones across the water.
This book will tell you something about our forefathers while they still lived in the old homes across the Atlantic.You will learn how they lived, what they thought and did, and how they came to cross the ocean to make a new nation in America. The things you will read about, though they happened so long ago and so far away, are all part of our own history. As you read about them, remember that your own forefathers of so many years ago took part in these events, or at least watched them and wondered at them as they occurred. You will understand the history of the United States better if you know what sort of people the first white Americas were. What ideas about religion and government and daily life did they bring over with them? What happened during their long past in Europe to give them those ideas? This little book will try to tell you.”
Nice book for collecting or for homeschool curriculum.
