Book Description
Excerpt from Women in American History At the council Mataoka listened while the In dians told how the prisoner had shot at their men, one of whom had since died. She was heavy hearted when she learned the verdict, Then he too must die - that is the Indian custom! She watched while some young braves brought in two great stones and placed them in front of Powhatan. She saw them seize the prisoner, drag him before her father, force him down until his head was on the stones, and then tie his hands and feet. And all the time her heart went out to him, so fair, so friendly, so fine a man he was! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Daughters of America: Or, Women of the Century America has been richly blessed in its women, as well as its men, of patriotism, intelligence, usefulness, and moral worth. Indeed, it has been a marvel to many in the Old World, that the women of the New have been in many instances so thoroughly cultured, so admirably developed morally and intellectually, amid so much that was new and therefore crude in society, and in a freedom which the women of European nations have never enjoyed, and of which those of Asiatic peoples never dreamed. A cultured Christian women of English birth and education, but now in a lovely Scottish home, wrote to the writer of this volume, that, when visiting America, that which she most enjoyed "was the sense of freedom," - a freedom which has been the high privilege of the women of our first century, and will be yet more the glorious heritage of the women of the second, as the ripened fruit is garnered from the promise-blossom. "It seemed to me," wrote the lady above mentioned, "that by that freedom I was lifted up to a larger and diviner life, and a tender and reverent expectation of glorious possibilities for our race, and especially for women."

Excerpt from The Women of the American Revolution, Vol. 2 The morning passed the sun sank low in the horizon. The hospitable host smiled as he saw the Colonel's faithful attendant, Bishop, true to his orders, holding his master's spirited steed at the gate. The veteran waited, and marvelled at the delay. Ah, Bishop, savs a fair writer describing the occurrence, there was an urchin in the drawing-room more powerful than King George and all his governors! Subtle as a sphynx, he had hid den the important despatches from the soldier's sight, shut up his ears from the summons of the tell-tale clock, and was playing such mad pranks with the bravest heart in Christendom, that it fluttered with the excess of a new-found happiness l Mr. Chamberlayne insisted that no guest ever left his house after sunset and his visitor was persuaded, with out much difficulty, to remain. The next day was far advanced when the enamored soldier was on the, road to Williamsburg. His business there being despatched, he hastened to the presence of the captivating widow.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Women of America In the autumn of 1902, at the request of The Outlook Company, I began the long journey so frequently mentioned in the following pages. The purpose of the journey was an investigation, as nearly complete as the brief time at command should permit, of the ideals and achievements of American women - in the professions, in municipal affairs, in the arts, and, above all, in the home and things pertaining to home-making.

Book Description
Excerpt from Woman in All Ages and in All Countries: Women of America The present volume completes the story of woman as told in the series of which it forms part. The history of nations is, in its ultimate analysis, largely that of woman. Therefore this series in its wide inclusiveness forms a more than ordinarily interesting history. The present study of the women of America is innocent of theorizing or philosophy and from the nature of the subject the narrative takes the reader into paths generally unfamiliar in historic studies.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Women of the American Revolution, Vol. 3 of 3 It can hardly be necessary to apologize for the appearance of a third volume of this work, in view of the favor with which the first have been received, and the general interest manifested in the subject. The materials for these new memoirs are derived altogether from private sources. It will be seen that I have occasionally added to sketches of the women, notices of brave men nearly related to them, whose services deserved mention, with anecdotes illustrative of the war or the state of the country. This has been done only where no account of the individual or of the incident is given in any published work. Many among the actors in that momentous drama, whose deeds should have been recorded, are scarcely mentioned by name in historical books, and no full history has ever been written of some parts of the Confederacy. It seemed, therefore, a duty to rescue from oblivion well authenticated facts which were likely to be of value to the future historian.

Excerpt from Woman in America: Her Work and Her Reward HE who undertakes to mark the movements of a multitude, who would decide whither their steps tend, and' judge their deviations from the right path, must stand above them, that he may overlook their course and some such elevation may seem to be claimed by her who seeks to awaken the at tention of her countrywomen to the mistakes by which, as she believes, their social progress is im peded, or misdirected. The only advantage over those whom she addresses claimed by the author Of the following pages, however, is opportunity for more extended observation of the varied forms of social life in her own land, than has been enjoyed by many of her sex.
