History
Bancroft, George: History of the United States (to the inauguration of Washington). A voluminous history with interesting passages, but tedious to young readers.
Draper, Andrew Sloan: The Rescue of Cuba. Silver, Burdett & Co.
Fiske, John: The War of Independence. Houghton, Mifflin Co.
Lodge, Henry Cabot, and Roosevelt, Theodore: Hero Tales from American History. The Century Company.
Motley, John Lothrop: The Rise of the Dutch Republic. This, with other histories by the same writer, is a long and brilliant account, full of interest to the older youths who have a taste for history.
Parkman, Francis: La Salle and the Northwest, The Conspiracy of Pontiac, and Montcalm and Wolfe are three histories of a brilliant series on the French explorations and colonizations in the Northwest. Parkman is one of our finest historical writers, and his graphic style has given many a young man a deep interest in history.
