Excerpt from Interesting Events in the History of the United States: Being a Selection of the Most Important and Interesting Events Which Have Transpired Since the Discovery of This Country to the Present Time

Authentic accounts of important events which have tee ken place in past ages are of much utility: especially to the countries and people whose affairs are related. In a country like ours, it seems necessary to the existence of true and eu lightened patriotism, that every person should possess some knowledge of the history of his own country. By the aid of history, we can call up past scenes and events in review we can see the effects they have had Upon the nations before us, and from thence we can learn wisdom for the future. It is, in reality, interesting and instructive to every intelli gent mind, to be transported back to the time of the first settlement of our country, to observe the courage, fortitude, and selfidenial of our'tbrefathers, amidst many surrounding dangers, difficulties, and privations, - their unconquerable love of freedom, - the resistance they manifested to tyranny in all its shapes, - and the final success of their efforts to preserve the freedom and independence of their country entire.
