This Country of Ours
This Country of Ours, published in 1917, is H. E. Marshall's history of the United States told as a sequence of stories for young readers, written as an American counterpart to her Our Island Story. It begins with the Norse voyages and Columbus, the naming of America and the rival French, Spanish and English claims, then follows the explorers and pioneers, the founding of Virginia with John Smith and Pocahontas, the Pilgrims and Puritans of New England and the other colonies, the French and Indian War, the Revolution, the growth of the republic, the Civil War and the presidents down to Woodrow Wilson. The tone is lively and patriotic, reflecting the attitudes of its day. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
