Chapter XXVIII: Appendix

BOOKS FOR REFERENCE AND COLLATERAL READING IN THE STUDY OF AMERICAN HISTORY.

This book is designed to be used before the formal text-book on American history is begun in grammar-school grades. It is intended also to serve as a convenient basis for more extended work both on the part of the teacher and of pupils. Hence the reading of the preceding chapters is only one part of the proposed plan. A systematic course in supplementary reading should be added. The following plan is suggested, but it may be modified, of course, to meet the needs of any particular class of pupils.

NOTE.--The whole subject of reference books on American History is
treated thoroughly in Montgomery's _Student's American History_
[see "Short List of Books," page xxiv in Appendix, and "Authorities
Cited," page xxx in Appendix], Montgomery's _American History_ [see
"Short List of Books," page xxxiii in Appendix], and Fiske's
_History of the United States_ [see Appendix D, page 518, Appendix
E, page 527, and Appendix F, page 529].
