Book Description
Excerpt from The New Complete History of the United States of America, Vol. 1 The discovery of America, in the last decade of the fifteenth century, was the most important secular event in, the history of the world. The revelation of our continents, hitherto unknown to the races of Europe and the East, was destined to afiect not only the material enterprises, but also the intellectual conditions, and ultimately the moral estate, of all mankind. More distinctlv and powerfully than any other enterprise of men or nations did the first knowledge and fame of the Western hemisphere react on the genius and ambitions of man, bearing him on to higher vision and nobler modes of action. Nor has any subse quent achievement of human beings, however great and startling, equaled that marvelous and sublime leap of adventure whereby the vanguard of the Aryan race was first landed on the western shores of the ocean of Atlas.

Nowhere else can be found in the same distinct completeness the curious and instructive story of New England theocracy, the financial, economical, and political history of the colonies and the Revolution, the origin and shap ing of our existing laws and institutions, state and national, the progressive, social, and intellectual development of our people.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the United States of America, Vol. 1 I have devoted much space to the life of the people, - their habits, modes of life, occupations, general progress, and the like, especially in the earlier period when they differed most widely from ourselves. But in treating the national period I have, however, without neglecting the industrial and social features, given greater space to political and constitutional development, as in this the life of a people who govern them selves is epitomized. In my treatment Of wars and disputes with foreign powers, I am aware that, with all my effort to view a subject from a neutral, judicial standpoint, an unconscious bias may be discerned; but should the work find any foreign readers, I beg them to remember that I have written absolutely sine ira. In treating the Civil War and the great events that led to it, I have taken the utmost care to be fair to both sides; though as a native and resident of the North I no doubt partake of the prejudice of my section, if such prejudice can still be said to exist. I have refrained from using the terms rebel and traitor to designate those who rose against the government in the sixties, because Of my profound re spect for their sincerity.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Complete History of the United States of America, Embracing the Whole Period From the Discovery of North America, Down to the Year 1820, Vol. 1 of 3 To shew that one supreme eternal God created the universe, and by His almighty fiat, spake all worlds into existence, with all beings that inhabit them; that His superintending providence preserves and governs all things, that His wisdom regulates and controuls all events, that the smallest as well as the largest, arc equally the objects of His care; "not a sparrow fatleih to the ground without His notice, and even the hairs of our heads are all numbered, was the great object of my Sketches of Universal History. To illustrate this great truth, I have there traced the history of the family of man, from the creation to the flood, and from the flood down to the present lime, and shewn the special government of God, as displayed to the world, in the rise and fall of states and empires: all which events have fulfilled a succession of general as well as a particular prophecies, predicted by the prophets, hundreds and thousands of years before they were accomplished. To shew the same superintending power, wisdom, and government of God, in planting his church in this wilderness of the west, and thus laying the foundation of a great nation, which has grown up and taken its rank amongst the free and enlightened nations of the earth, is also the great design of this work. To illustrate this design, I have traced the rise and progress of navigation, by the way of Introductory Remarks, through a period of about 3500 years, down to the time of the discovery of America by Columbus; the settlement of Hispaniola, and the conquest of Mexico and Peru by Cortes and Pizarro.

Book Description
George Bancroft was a well known American historian, an ambassador to the United Kingdom, and a U.S. Secretary of the Navy. His seminal work was History of the United States of America: From the Discovery of the Continent, which he revised many times. The book presented here represents volume one of Bancroft's final revision. Volume One traces the history of the United States from Columbus' voyage to the New World until the year of 1688. As such, this book can be viewed as almost a pre-history of the U.S., highlighting the major events that lead to the eventual creation of a state independent of Great Britain. Bancroft's book marches along what is now familiar territory for students of history, and opens with accounts of the early voyages to America and French settlements on the continent. Bancroft hits on all of the major historical events one would expect to find in such a volume: early English colonization, Virginia's first charter, slavery and its role in the American settlements, the pilgrims, plantation life, the expanding colonies, Virginia's great rebellion, the revolution of 1688, and much more. Volume One concludes with a synopsis of the status of the colonies as of 1688, and a brief look at what is on the horizon. History of the United States of America: From the Discovery of the Continent was one of the first great history books, with Bancroft's survey of American history is exhaustive. As with many older history books, there are some misinterpretations and items presented as fact that have since been disproven, however these do not detract from the overall quality of the work. This is not just a history of the United States, but a love letter to a country that the author clearly cared about deeply. George Bancroft's History of the United States of America is one of the great American history books. While it may have been surpassed by modern history textbooks in terms of both scope and accuracy, the passion dripping from Bancroft's every word is unmatched, and truly a pleasure to read for all students and scholars of history.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the American Nation, Vol. 1 As will be seen this work extends beyond the mere history of the United States. It dates back to the earliest days of America, not merely for the purpose of reiter ating the well-known facts of discovery and settlement, but to establish the necessary chronological chain of events, and bring out the historical connection between the past and the present. Aside from an interesting chapter on American Prehistoric Races, these early events in the history of our country are treated as briefly as is con sistent with the general purpose of the work, and a careful reading of them will aid to a better and more intelligent understanding of conditions leading up to the present situation.

Book Description
Excerpt from The United States of America, Vol. 1 of 5: A Pictorial History of the American Nation From the Earliest Discoveries and Settlements to the Present Time Not less wonderful is the story of the subsequent growth of the Colonies, of the many incidents attending the War of 1812, of the Mexican War, and Of the tremendous struggle to save the Union. Although strife and war have played a very conspicuous part in the growth of our country, yet we must not forget that we have enjoyed many years of peace and prosperity, and the extraordinary progress we have made during the last hundred years or more has astonished the world and even ourselves. No nation to-day is making history more rapidly than the United States. Especially true is this of the closing years of the nineteenth and the opening years Of the twentieth centuries. Our short but decisive war with Spain focussed on us the attention of the civilized world, and started us on that career of wider participation in international affairs which, for good or for evil, we must henceforth pursue. How we shall discharge the obliga tions we have assumed only time can show; but the sterling qualities of the national character will undoubtedly in the end guide the nation to lofty ends and make it the defender of the weak and the champion of justice among the peoples. In the broad domain Of humanity, in the ever widening fields of invention, discovery, science, art, education and literature, and in fact of all that tends to make the life of a nation truly great, the United States of America stands to-day in the front ranks. This wonderful national and material development of the country should at least inspire us to a more earnest and intelligent study of its wonderful history, which cannot fail to be of the most instructive and profoundly interesting character to every patriotic citizen, especially to the rising generation of our beloved country - the home of Washington and of Lincoln.

Excerpt from A Complete History of the United States of America, Embracing the Whole Period From the Discovery of North America, Down to the Year 1820, Vol. 2 of 3 Thus we have seen how God often makes use of the feeblest instruments, to produce the greatest events, and has thus given us one more example, that those are the most powerful causes which he delights to own and bless. The world are indebted to woman, in the character of the Queen of Spain, for the discovery of the new-world, and Virginia is indebted to woman, (in the character of a fe male savage youth, ) for the preservation of her infant colony.
