The Beginner's American History - D.H. Montgomery

Written as part of the Leading Facts of History Series by D.H. Montgomery, The Beginner’s American History covers the early history of the United States by focusing on a succession of “great” historical figures, spanning from Christopher Columbus to Abraham Lincoln. “Its object is to present clearly and accurately those facts and principles in the lives of some of the chief founders and builders of America which would be of interest and value to pupils beginning the study of our history. Throughout the book great care has been taken to relate only such incidents and anecdotes as are believed to rest on unexceptionable authority” (taken from the Preface). Sprinkled throughout the text are a number of maps and illustrations. Each chapter is broken into smaller, more manageable sections and is followed by a series of comprehension questions meant as an aid for classroom instruction.   Title: The Beginner’s American History Author: David H.
