Excerpt from Children's Stories in American Literature, 1660-1860The Indian name for wind was Waban, the old sachem's name, and he thought the sermon was addressed to him. He became an ardent convert and helped Eliot greatly in his work of Christianizing the tribes, and in particular in his trouble to keep peace among the sachems, who objected to the freedom of thought which the new religion taught, thinking that it interfered with their own authority over their people.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nothing could be more welcome at this time than books which bring our own literature within the realm of the elementary school, where the study should rightly begin. Henrietta Christian Wright has made it easy for the child to become interested in reading by making the personalities of the writers standout in a most striking way. Each author is treated with constant reference to that side of their works and personality which most nearly appeals to children. “These books contain the best collection of stories and authors I have ever seen. They are, in my opinion, the best biographies I ever read that were prepared for school use – either for high school or college, and, at the same time, are written in such a way as to hold the attention of the ten year old or the college professor who has learned to see the man behind the writer. Truly a new day is dawning for writing books for children.” -Editor, Northwestern Journal of Education Ms. Wright here continues the attractive presentation of literary history begun in her 'Children's Stories in English Literature,' taking up the literary figures that have appeared since the time of the civil war, and treating their other works and personalities in a simple and entertaining manner to capture the interest of young readers.
