Excerpt from The Development of American Nationality The authors hope that this "Short History of the American People" may serve the purposes of two classes of readers. They have aimed, in the first instance, to provide for college undergraduates pursuing an introductory course in American history, a general manual which will embody, in some measure at least, the enlarged knowledge and the new points of view made possible by the results of research in recent years. They believe also that this history will meet the requirements of the general reader who desires a comprehensive view of the subject within reasonable compass. For the student and the general reader alike, it is hoped that the bibliographical notes may point the way to more extended studies. The aim of the authors is not so much to present a balanced narrative of events, as to describe those movements and forces which have left their permanent impress upon the national character and institutions. The first volume (The Foundations of American Nationality, 1492 to 1789) deals with the molding of the varied European nationalities and the several detached colonies into an independent and united nation; the second (The Development of American Nationality, 1783 to the Present Time) deals with the development of the nation so formed. While any division of the subject matter of history occasions perplexity and disagreement, the authors believe that the character of the problems confronting the people of the time, and the character of the materials which the historian must employ, permanently differentiate the colonial period from the national, and that the two can best be treated by different men. In order, however, that each author might have full liberty to express his views, the volumes overlap for the period 1783 to 1789.

Excerpt from The Story of the American Indian: His Origin, Development, Decline and Destiny The popular opinion of the American Indian has for generations been based upon prejudice and ignorance as thoughtless as it is unreasoning and unjust. The red man Of America may be no saint, but he is at least a man and should not be condemned unheard. He has his Side of the story quite as much as has his white conqueror.

Excerpt from An American Citizenship Course in United States History, Vol. 3 In fact, the American Revolution, as fought out in campaigns and battles on American soil, was a civil war, and such a treatment of it, we believe, is in harmony with the facts. The bitter antagonism between the American Patriots and the American Tories is manifested in each of the two great phases of the war, namely (1) the struggle, up to July 4, 1776, for the rights of free-born Englishmen, and (2) after that date for political independence.
