A pictorial history of how our forefathers dressed, the tools and utensils they used, their occupations, their homes inside and out; everything that could be pictured is pictured here. In this book, the pictures themselves are the history, and the text assumes the subordinate role. The text seeks merely to identify the time, place and subject, together with the minimum requirement of explanatory narrative for the general setting, without intending to make it in any sense a complete history of the nation. In this book we have a thread of text which explains the pictures, instead of scatterded pictures which only scantily illustrate a text. ; 10-1/8" Tall; 411 pages.
