Excerpt from The Story of Our Country: A Primary History of the United States It is the aim of this little book to awaken such an abiding personal interest in the story of our country, that the after-study in the more advanced history of the United States may be a pleasant task. The author has attempted, without undue boasting, to show how the many feeble colonies, remote from each other and planted under such different circumstances, united at length through common perils and sufferings to form the foun dation of a national structure so broad and so firm that when the strain of revolution, and even of rebellion, came, it survived the shock. She has endeavored to keep well to the front the great central idea of the nation's develop ment from the time when the first discoverers peered through the mists of an unknown sea, down to to-day, when our nation has taken its place among the first powers of the earth. The author has sketched many of the thrilling and picturesque biographies which are always such an unfailing source of delight to the child.
