DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Makers of Virginia History Virginia has been called the Mother of States and of Statesmen - a compliment justly due the Old Dominion. In this little book an effort has been made to give biographical sketches of some of those great leaders who have placed Virginia in the forefront of American states. One great difficulty, however, has presented itself to the author in preparing these sketches: the impossibility of treating the many great men whom our state has produced. When we consider, in ad dition to those who are treated here, such names as Morgan the Thunderbolt, Wythe, Giles, the Barbours, Cary, Carrington, the many Lees, Doddridge, Baldwin, Tazewell, Taylor, the Masons, Stewart, Leigh, Grayson and scores of others, there seems to be no end to Virginia's distinguished sons. Each locality in the state undoubtedly has some citizen who can truly rank as a maker of Virginia history, though his name is not men tioned in this book. Our purpose, therefore, has been to select only a few characters in the different periods of our history, and to narrate the chief events in their lives in such a way as to give the story of Virginia history from 1607 to the present day. We believe that the best way to teach V.rginia history is by holding up before the boys and girls the deeds of those men who have done so much in the making of our history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Virginia Dare On the eastern shore of North Carolina, in the shallow sounds enclosed by long sand banks, which bound the coast, lies a little island twelve miles long and three miles broad. This is Roanoke - the scene of the first English settle ment in this country, and the birth-place of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America. How much of romance, and yet more of history a xc mance of the real - clusters around the sad story of this young girl! Out of the unfortunate expeditions, of which she, in some sense, may be said to have been the first fruits, grew the schemes of colonization at Jamestown and at Ply mouth a score of years later. The seed were sown at Roanoke, were fertilized by the sacrifice of the settlers there, but took enduring root first at Jamestown.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Washington: A Virginia Cavalier The purpose Of the author has been not to lay stress upon the so -called' 'true George Washington, or the great planter as he over saw his plantation or read the London markets; not even to lay emphasis on the great soldier as he flamed forth in war, or the first president as he marked the pathway of the new republic. The chief aim has been to point out those qualities which endeared him to his generation, to the end that boys and girls may have stirred in them some of the affection and admiration accorded Washington by those of his own time. This is no easy task. Americans have placed Washington on a pedestal. Some of his biographers have idealized him so that he seems a demi - god. Others, in trying to avoid this mistake and give a true story, have been too realistic and have pictured only that which was commonplace in his life, calling attention to little human weaknesses which at certain times and under some circum stances he gave expression to. But you can no more tell a true life story Of a man by magnifying his faults than by overrating his virtues.
