COPYRIGHT 1911 L. W. WALTER COMPANY RACINE, WISCONSIN 1 In the preparation of this History the writers have had in mind the idea that no one author, however talented, is in position to write on every period of Our Country's life, even if the period of any one man's life would furnish time in which to properly cover such a stupendous task. Therefore we have consulted every authority available, the object being to make this a History of the United States by the greatest writers of American History, and in justice make grateful acknowledgment of our indebtedness to the following leading authorities: EDWARD ABBOTT Revolutionary Times. JOHN ADAMS, LL. D. Novanglus, a History of the Dispute with America from 1754-1774. HENRY ADAMS History of the United States. 18011817. Administration of Thomas Jefferson, 1801-1809.
