The Story of the 13 Colonies & the Great Republic Text (3rd Edition) | Memoria Press
Description
We have looked, and we cannot find an American history study on a grammar-school level that we think rivals H. A. Guerber's two-volume American history set from the turn of the 20th century. So, rather than settle for lesser quality, we have combined Guerber's The Story of the Thirteen Colonies and the Great Republic into one volume that makes it a perfect one-year survey of American history for the middle school years. Our edition of this text has been heavily edited to make it more concise and to allow for the fact that many events considered pivotal to history in the late 1800s have paled in significance with the passing of time and events such as two world wars.
The Story of the 13 Colonies & the Great Republic from Memoria Press is a delightful, narrative-based American history curriculum covering the essentials from the first inhabitants of North America through the end of the 19th century. Edited from two classic 1896 texts, it presents history through engaging stories of the people who shaped our nation, written in an accessible, story-like format.
The program is ideal for Grades 4–8 and works well as a core
one-year course or as part of a broader American history study.
