About this book
A Beginner's History is by William H. Mace. The account of Mrs. Howe describes her work establishing women's clubs, travelling around the country, and writing and lecturing on the subject. The account says club members were urged to seek self-improvement and ways of serving others, with their efforts establishing hospitals for women and children, lodging houses, and labor schools.
The description of the victory at Yorktown records bells, cannon, and bonfires, with Americans praising Washington and Lafayette. The account of Washington's farewell places his parting with his officers in Fraunces' Tavern, New York, where he embraced each officer. The description of the Roosevelt children recalls summer games, pets, barefoot play, haying, harvesting, and picking apples.
