Excerpt from High Lights in United States History: A Help Book for Students of United States History

There are outline books in American history almost without number. Why another Outlines are not rarely of more value to teacher than to pupil. They at times defeat their purpose by going into a wealth of rather confusing detail. It has been my intention to omit much which they usually contain. If this little book proves of any service, and I hope that it will, it will be as much for what it leaves out as for what it includes.

A student of any elementary subject does not remember everything. There are some things which he ought to remember, certain important features which are the very groundwork of his subject. I have attempted to pick out those things in American History which are important and to arrange them in orderly fashion. Essentials have been emphasized; details have been left to larger works. Brief explanations have been added wherever they might be helpful.

An attempt has been made to treat the topics in the order of their occurrence. However, the student of history realizes that to be chronological is not always to be logical. For this reason the time limits of different periods have not always been strictly observed.

High Lights In U. S. History is designed as a help-book, to be used in connection with the regular texts. It has been prepared with the pupil chiefly in mind, yet with a feeling that whatever helps the pupil must unfailingly do as much for the teacher. It may also be used as a reference in reading, as a guide in following a lecture course, or as an aid in reviewing for examinations.

I am indebted to many books for the facts and ideas set forth.
