A New History of Texas (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from A New History of Texas The great and increasing emigration to Texas, taken in connection with her present position, former history and prospective career, were the primary causes which induced the author to compile a volume, entitled the History of Texas, yet, in doing so, he has embodied other and dissimilar information, as well as such as will safely conduct emigrants to favorable localities, and in a cheap way acquaint them with things necessary to be known - and he has supplied such data as will enable those thinking of a removal, to knowingly decide if it is expedient to seek a home in the new Republic or not. Desiring at all times to pursue the quiet and retired walks of private life, the author of the following work would not have made his travels in Texas the leading subject of a publication, had not her vast and luxuriant plains and other more romantic scenery, first suggested the idea - an idea that has grown in strength every day, since the effect of combined causes, not the least among which may be mentioned the fact of the entire absence of any work on the subject, from which can be extracted such information as comes home to the every day pursuits of men, or one that has been written with that independence of thought, and strict impartiality, which should ever be the aim and end of the Historian who aspires to an enduring and honorable fame, when he shall sleep with his Fathers.

New History of Texas for Schools available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from New History of Texas for Schools: Also for General Reading and for Teachers Preparing Themselves for Examination As has often been said, there is no State in the Union whose history presents such varied and romantic scenes as does that of Texas. This alone would recommend it to the general reader and the earnest student. But there is in addition to its interest a weighty reason why every school in the State should give Texas History a place in its course study. No one who learns well the lessons therein taught can fail to become a better and wiser citizen. This little volume attempts to picture the principal events in our history in a style easy and natural, yet vivid. It was written from the stand-point of a teacher, who believes that success in teaching history demands not only a live instructor, but also a live text-book, If the execution has fallen short of the design, the author begs the charitable criticisms of her co-workers, and assures them they may hope for better things in future editions. No map is given, since any teacher may secure an excellent wall map of Texas, free of charge, by applying to Central Railroad offices.

A School History of Texas (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from A School History of Texas This book aims to present in form sufficiently simple for young readers the essential facts of the history of Texas. To bring it within the grasp of fifth and sixth grade pupils and to make it a thoroughly useful tool in the hands of the teacher, we have steadily sought to give it the qualities of accuracy, directness, and fairness. We believe that our sympathetic reverence for the history of our native state, our knowledge of the subject, and our experience as teachers in the public schools and colleges of Texas have enabled us to accomplish this end with measurable success. We have written only what is important to an understanding of the making of Texas, and we have shown at each step why it is important, so that the pupil should be in no doubt at any time of the significance of what he reads. The illustrations have been chosen with a view to instruct as well as to entertain children; geographical questions are illustrated by numerous maps; and at the end of each chapter are a list of questions, designed to emphasize the principal points of the chapter, and a list of simple and interesting reading which may be used to supplement the text.
