This book analyzes the common narrative residing in American History textbooks published in the first half of the 19th century. That story, what the author identifies as the American “creation” or “origins” narrative, is simultaneously examined as both historic and “mythic” in composition. It offers a fresh, multidisciplinary perspective on an enduring aspect of these works. The book begins with a provocative thesis that proposes the importance of the relationship between myth and history in the creation of America’s textbook narrative. It ends with a passionate call for a truly inclusive story of who Americans are and what Americans aspire to become. The book is organized into three related sections. The first section provides the context for the emergence of American History textbooks. It analyzes the structure and utility of these school histories within the context of antebellum American society and educational practices. The second section is the heart of the book. It recounts and scrutinizes the textbook narrative as it tells the story of America’s emergence from “prehistory” through the American Revolution—the origins story of America. This section identifies the recurring themes and images that together constitute what early educators conceived as a unified cultural narrative. Section three examines the sectional bifurcation and eventual re-unification of the American History textbook narrative from the 1850s into the early 20th century. The book concludes by revisiting the relationship between textbooks, the American story, and mythic narratives in light of current debates and controversies over textbooks, American history curriculum and a common American narrative.
School History of the United States of America (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from School History of the United States of America IN response to an urgent demand for a text-book on United States History of convenient size and adapted to the needs of pupils in the seventh and eighth grades of elementary schools, this book has been written. It will be noticed that this history is somewhat smaller than others written for the same grades. This reduction in size has been accomplished, not by excluding any essential or important fact Of history, but by the omission of unnecessary detail; and yet details have not been omitted to the extent Of making the narrative dry and uninteresting, The leading events of United States history are herein set forth in such manner as to show their relations and historical significance and to give a fair general idea of the causes and the results of the great issues which have affected the life and the government of the American people.
