ST. LOUIS: CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING COMPANY. 1890. ( 0P1 WOH r, ).v NOB \ S. M Al'1'1 N PREFACE. In the preparation of these Outlines the author has carefully searched every source of information open to her, and has endeavored to make them as brief and accurate as possible. The principal object of outlines is to systematize the matter, and to be an aid in studying the subject from a variety of books. The work is offered to the public in the hope that it will be an aid to many students in acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of United States History, and that it will prove useful to many teachers in suggesting systematic methods of presenting the sub- ject to others. University Place, Des Moines, Iowa, June, 1890. TEXT AND REFERENCE BOOKS, The student cannot obtain a thorough knowledge of United States History from any one text book. Every text book has some good points, and the pupils should be encouraged to secure as many as possible for reference. Of the more extended histories, Bancroft's, Bryant's and Hildreth's Histories are com- plete and satisfactory. McCabe's Centennial History is also an extended history, and is an excellent His- tory of the United States. Advanced pupils should be encouraged to read the more extended histories of the United States, Grant's books and other extended histories of the Civil War.
