History stories, for either home or school use, may serve a double purpose. They may be for children who have not yet begun to study history a spur to interest in the past; or they may furnish detail for the older children whose textbooks of necessity are lacking in this respect. The stories in this book have been selected as types of movements in early American history. The attempt has not been made to give the children many facts, nor to teach the facts that are presented. Rather are we presenting a series of pictures, as a sort of historical background upon which later historical personages may figure. Let the children read each story as a story merely to be enjoyed but not worked over. Let them admire our heroes, not especially as historical personages, but as men.
