The Making of the American Nation: A History for Elementary Schools

By Jacques Wardlaw Redway

Book Overview

A young nation, bold experiments, and real people facing difficult choices. The past lives vividly here. The Making of the American Nation introduces readers to the story of the United States as an elementary American history textbook crafted for curious minds. Jacques Wardlaw Redway presents children's United States history through vivid episodes of exploration, settlement, the American colonial and revolutionary history, the early American republic era, and the evolving 19th century United States. Coverage extends through westward expansion and Civil War narratives and into the challenges of a rapidly changing republic, always linking great events to everyday lives and responsibilities. Originally a progressive era school textbook, this vintage school history book now serves as a window into earlier classroom values and national memory. As a Jacques Redway history textbook it combines straightforward prose with an emphasis on geography, character, and civic duty, making it a rich companion for a homeschool American history curriculum, family reading, or a classroom resource for social studies. Younger readers gain a clear narrative of the formation of the United States; older students and adults discover how previous generations understood liberty, union, and national growth. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A thoughtful choice for young learners, history enthusiasts, and collectors of classic children's titles seeking an authentic voice from America's educational past.
