INTRODUCTORY AMERICAN HISTORY
By Henry E. Bourne and E. J. Benton
Professors of History in Western Reserve University
The narrative begins with the European background of American History, and continues through the period of discovery and exploration. A vivid account of the things best worth knowing about the Greeks, the Romans, the development of civilization in Europe, and its transplanting in America, is made of interest to sixth grade classes. The pupil is led to understand that the early settlers from England, Spain, Holland, and France brought with them the arts of civilized life and government they had learned in the countries from which they came. The significance and continuity of history are thereby made to contribute to the pupil's growing knowledge of American history.
