History becomes so much
more interesting when one traces their own roots to a well known period in
history. Genealogists cannot help but become interested in history.
On these pages we offer a reprinted collection of history books written closer
to the time period in which the event happened and therefore probably more
accurate than trying to remember from the distance of years. Books are our
gateway to the past. We plan to add out-of-print documents and stories as
we find them. The original spelling and grammar of the piece will be
preserved just as written by the author. Learn U. S. History from the pioneers who lived it.
Chronicles of America Series
This series

has never before been told before. The conception or plan of The Chronicles Of America
is to present the entire history of our country in living form, through a
continuity of short narratives, each having a unity of its own, but all
articulated and so related that the reader will be given a real vision of this
country from the beginning to the present day.
