Excerpt from American History Through Historical Novels The exciting pages of American history have not always seemed as exciting or as colorful in history textbooks as they have in the hundreds of historical novels which have been writ ten by many of America's best writers. The facts stand out clearly in the best histories and they are often illuminated by the comments and interpretations of the historians; but the historical novel makes learning easy and provides considerable entertainment at the same time. In the conclusion to his book, The Historical N ovel in America, Professor Ernest E. Leisy of Southern Methodist University says: Historical novels have interpreted many phases of the national history. On their broad canvas have been displayed the contests with the aborigines for the possession of a conti nent, the conflict with the mother country for independence, the onward push to Western frontiers, the strife between North and South, and the final occupation of all the land. NO other literary form has more acceptably expressed for the majority of readers the nation's origins, its development, its ideals, and its meaning.
