Item Details

Description

Title: HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES IN WORDS OF ONE SYLLABLE engraved illus, photos

Description: HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES IN WORDS OF ONE SYLLABLE. by Helen Pierson, 1889, George Routledge Pub, The one syllable phrase is marketing trick. Yes the book is for children, Yes many words are one syllable but its not a strict textual discipline. Many words have more than one. But you get the idea. As a history its fairly simple but accurate to the times (1880s). The illustrations are wonderful and do capture ones attention. There is a whole series of these books in one syllable but I just can't remember the other titles. This is only one I have. The book is scarce but mostly because its usually found in terrible very worn condition. This particular example is unusal in thats VG clean. Covers from Exploration of the New World, Red Men, French English and Indians vs Colonists. Revolilutionary War. Civil War.

Condition: Unusually clean text. Hinges strong and holding well also very unusual as book is mostly found falling apart. Some old soil;ing to decorative cloth hardcovers but nothing gross. bx2
