Author Description

Excerpt from Short American History for Intermediate Grades, Navigators and Explorers, Early Inhabitants of North America the Colonies to the Close of Tum French and Indian War This book presents a more complete treatment of the subjects indicated by its title than is generally found in text-books on American History intended for use in elementary schools. It fully develops the subject-matter required in the fifth year by the present Course of Study prescribed for the New York City schools. As home study is not required and dictation of notes is forbidden in the fifth year under that Course of Study, the judicious teacher will adapt it to the requirements of the grade by use in the classroom. The core of the work should be the basis of the brief treatment that is required. I am indebted for helpful suggestions and criticisms to Superintendent Charles W. Lyon, Mr. Homer C. Bristol, Dr. L. H. White, Mr. John W. Rafferty, Mr. James A. Bowen, and to other valued friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
