Mary Of Plymouth: A Story Of The Pilgrim Settlement (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Mary Of Plymouth: A Story Of The Pilgrim Settlement The Purpose Of This Series Of Stories Is To Show The Children, And Even Those Who Have Already Taken Up The Study Of History, The Home Life Of The Colonists With Whom They Meet In Their Books. To This End Every Effort Has Been Made To Avoid Anything Savor Ing Of Romance, And To Deal Only With Facts, So Far As That Is Possible, While Describing The Daily Life Of Those People Who Conquered The Wilderness Whether For Conscience Sake Or For Gain. That The Stories May Appeal More Directly To The Children, They Are Told From The Viewpoint Of A Child, And Purport To Have Been Related By A Child. Should Any Criticism Be Made Regarding The Seeming Neglect To Mention Important Historical Facts, The Answer Would Be That These Books Are Not Sent Out As Histories, - Although It Is Believed That They Will Awaken A Desire To Learn More Of The Building Of The Nation, And Only Such Incidents As Would Be Particularly Noted By A Child Are Used.
