Side Lights on American History: Two Volumes in One; I. National Period Before the Civil War

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Side Lights on American History: Two Volumes in One; I. National Period Before the Civil War

History can be presented to us only by means of pictures, reproductions of that which we cannot directly witness.

If you study a city from photographs, the general bird's-eye View is necessary to give you the relative size and location of things; but such a View is not enough. You must have pictures, on a larger scale, of. A busy street, a mammoth office building, a public park, the interior of a workshop, and the like. The ordinary school history furnishes the bird's-eye view of our coun try's origin and growth; the present, volume aims to give a more detailed account - a pic ture on a larger Scale - oi some of the chief events in our history. It is intended not to replace the text-book, but to supplement it.
