Excerpt from America's Story, Vol. 3 of 5: For America's Children The illustrations, upon which much thought and care have been expended, are from authentic sources. In some cases drawings after famous historical paintings have been made for the sake of their value in giving correct ideas of costumes and other accessories, but the main idea in making the illustrations has been to set before the reader the person, the place, and the thing described, so as to enable him to complete and round out the mental impression gained from the text. The summary of the historical facts in connection with each chapter and a list of the authorities consulted, given at the end of each volume, not only serve to show how trustworthy are the stories in the books, but will enable the teacher who wishes to pursue any subject further to do so without the trouble of great research.
