Download Description
The English too claimed the same land, and it was not until some years after the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers that the Dutch settled in the country. Then they formed a company and bought the Island of Manhattan where New York now stands from the Indians for about five pounds' worth of glass beads and other trifles.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: This Country of Ours (Yesterday's Classics) (Paperback)
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.
