Included among the ninety-nine chapters are accounts of exploration, pioneers, settlement in the new world and the founding of the constitution. This is an excellent timeless work which is great for students and scholars of all ages and available here in a paperback book edition. |

 Written on June 5, 2008 Summary: Nice compliment to Hisory at Our House curriculum My two daughters (aged 9 & 7) have studied American history this year using the History at Our House curriculum (www.historyatourhouse.com). We've enjoyed reading H.E. Marshall's This Country Of Ours alongside HaOH. My girls enjoyed hearing some of the stories Mr. Powell told again and hearing a few different ones. Often the girls would expound on ideas with which they were familiar and re-tell them in their own words. It was great way to check their understanding and allow them to process the material an additional time. Written on August 23, 2006 Summary: This Country of Ours A great book easy for children ages 8 yrs old to adults to read. It presents the facts about history and the lives of the men and women that is often lost in history books in this present day. There are Christian morals and Biblical truths discussed in the lives of our forefathers. I highly recommend this interesting book. Written on June 23, 2006 Summary: Well written history book It seems to me that since the other reviewer is so coy about this subject he or she knew so much about, we have to take an anonymous stranger's word for it that an unknown subject had some unknown errors that rendered the entire book unreadable. If we were allowed to know for ourselves what the topic was, then perhaps we could judge for ourselves. IMO, Mrs. Marshall tells a riveting story of America's history that cannot help but engage the attention and hearts of young readers. Because she wrote a hundred years ago she sometimes uses terms I would not (savages)- I just change the word. She did her homework well but the best historical research available to her at the time is not always the best historical research available to us at this time- so I explain that. It's a great way to help children learn that perspectives in history change and that point of view influence the retelling. I have yet to see a history book which does not have a viewpoint or historical information with which I differ. I can fix those things. H.E. Marshall's engaging, delightful, interesting writing style needs no alteration, and I can't fix tepid writing as easily as I can an errant fact. Her book is available online as an etext, and I suggest those interested look it up and read a few pages and make up their own minds.  Written on February 19, 2004 Summary: Poor research I was intrigued by this book because of the glowing reports I read about it on several homeschooling websites. The entire text is available online, so I thought I would read a section to get a feel for how it is written. I chose a subject that I have done a great deal of research on, and was amazed that hardly a sentence in the entire section was correct. It was full of misinformation, long discredited theories and even character slander. I am very disappointed both in the book and in the websites that are recommending it. Written on September 1, 2002 Summary: This Country of Ours This is a great book. I am homeschooling and am using this book for supplemental history for my eight and eleven year old. I love H. Marshall's style and would recommend this book to anyone who is tired of the dry textbook style of historical writings. You will not be disappointed. Beautiful engravings also. |
