Overview
Overview
The Tappan-Kendall Histories. The Riverside Press. Blue cloth-covered boards with black stamping on covers and spine. Some expected soiling on covers, along with rubbing to edges and corners. Writing and child-made art inside front and back covers. Very little marking throughout text but there is the occasional note, and occasional drawing on an illustration (i.e. adding glasses to the eyes, or a beard, or a smoking pipe...). | "This book aims not at telling stories about the United States, but at giving a short, simple, connected amount of our country from its discovery to the present day. Mindful of the pleasure that children take in knowing 'why,' and of their unfailing interest in biography, I have tried, as far as the limits of the book would permit, to note reasons as well as deeds; and, while avoiding everything of the nature of a biographical sketch, I have sought to arouse and encourage a feeling of friendly familiarity with the heroes of our nation." - preface
