The Child's History of the United States - Designed as a First Book of History for Schools, Illustrated by Numerous Anec, (Paperback)

In parallel to his work as a Congressional minister, Reverend Charles A. Goodrich also wrote many educational Books. Many of these publications were Bible studies, some focussed on the History of America, and yet others were on subjects such as Greek grammar. This particular book is one of historical works in which he details the development of the United States of America: from the Arrival of Columbus, to the Presidential term of John Quincy Adams, beginning in 1825. It covers the 'French Indian War, the 'War of Revolution', the inception of the 'Federal Constitution', and much more. Designed for the use of children, this work is broken down into easy to understand lessons, each of which conclude with a number of exercise questions on the topics discussed. To compliment the republication of this work, a brand new introductory biography of the author has been added.
