History of the United States of America - For the Use of Schools (Paperback)

This work by Charles A. Goodrich was first published in the mid-eighteenth century. It charts the history and development of the United States of America, from the arrival of Columbus to the inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln. The history of the nation is broken down into six 'periods', each marked with defining features, such as 'Settlements', 'Revolution', and 'Intercolonial Wars'. It is designed for the education of young people, and is accompanied by many illustrations and maps to aid in the learning process. To compliment the republication of this work, a brand new introductory biography of the author has been added.
