Publisher's Description of Stories of Great Americans For Little Americans (2nd ed.)
Edward Eggleston wrote this little book in 1895, and our second graders love it, so we thought we would publish it so everyone could enjoy it. We have included Eggleston's original illustrations and added some additional ones as well. Eggleston says in his preface that "the primary aim of this book is to furnish the little learner reading matter that will excite his attention and give him pleasure" and "to make the mind of the pupil familiar with some of the leading figures in the history of our country by means of personal anecdote." Students will be introduced to Washington, Franklin, Audubon, and more.
Category Description for History Books By Edward Eggleston
Looking for history books that will make you proud to be an American? Look no further! These books were written more than 100 years ago, much closer to the events that helped shape the United States into a great nation. Emphasis is on great Americans - meaning explorers, statesmen, war heroes, inventors, writers, scientists, artists, and plain ordinary people - who made a difference. The lives of these men and women demonstrate the virtues which children need to see modeled today. The stories are captivating, and the illustrations are beautiful. To make it easier on the teacher, study questions are provided at the end of each chapter.
