“This volume is intended as a historical reader, as an elementary textbook in the history of our country from the framing of the Constitution to the beginning of the twentieth century, or as an introduction or supplement to any of the excellent textbooks on United States history now in use.Although complete in itself, and hence quite independent, it is nevertheless a sequel to The Story of the Thirteen Colonies, for it takes up the thread of the narrative at the point where it was dropped in that book, and carries it on unbroken to the present date.No pains have been spared to interest children in the history of their country, to explain its gradual development, to teach them to love, honor, and emulate our heroes, and to make them so familiar with the lives and sayings of famous Americans that they will have no difficulty in understanding the full meaning of the numerous historical allusions so frequently found in the newspapers and elsewhere.”—from the Preface
