Excerpt from Real Stories From Baltimore County HistoryWhile the material has been arranged in chronological order with the purpose of emphasizing sequence of changes which time hath wrought, the psychological order takes precedence in its presentation to children. We can never ignore the fact that children are primarily interested in those persons and place and events which are closely associated with their own meagre experience first of all. Concrete, firsthand experience with real persons, places and events are essential in developing the historic sense which is onlv gradually emerging in little Third Grade children, consequently it seems best to present the story of Once Upon a Time in Our Town and Vicinity before presenting Bal timore County in any detail. The Contents aim to indicate a time sequence as well as to suggest the selected group of stories which seem properly to be the heritage of all Baltimore County Children. The arrangement and amount of detail will, in each instance, be determined by the background of concrete experi ence which can be made available to the children.It is desired here to express appreciation to those principals, grammar grade teachers and their children who have contributed both data and illustrations from time to time, and to that in numerable host of parents and friends who have answered the queries of children from day to day with such unfailing courtesy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Though close geographically, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia are very different. All three states have contributed a great deal to American history. Virginia and North Carolina were among the thirteen colonies that declared independence from Great Britain in 1776. When Virginia attempted to leave the Union in 1861, the tough, independent people of West Virginians refused to go along and instead formed their own state. North Carolina was once dependent on agriculture, but today is a major center for banking, education, and research. This book in the LETS EXPLORE THE STATES series provides information about these three remarkable states, from their geography, history, and government to their economy, population demographics, and major cities. Each title in this series contains color photos, maps, flags, state seals, graphics and back matter including: an index, further reading lists for books and internet resources, and a series glossary.
