A Graphic History Os America For You Here is the History of our America in a form you have never before seen—a Hlsto-Graph from the earliest Viking voyagers to the latest Supreme Court decision In 1937. YOU SEE HISTORY AT A GLANCE BY ASSOCIATION OF ONE EVENT WITH ANOTHER On a single large sheet, the story of every square mile of territory In America is port rayed with a graphic picture of how each State was formed: the story of the early explorations and discoveries: the formation of the thirteen colonies; acquisitions of territory, and winning of the West. It Is packed with statistics of population for each census; state capitals and areas, political changes, thumb-nail biographies and national even's during the administration of each President; the rise of industrialism, mass production, literature, art, science, invention and political parties; constitutional amendments; and origins of the earliest American cities in each State. The Hlsto-Grnph Is to History what Maps are to Geography, or what blue-prints are to the architect. At a glance you can locate any principal event In American history, and In the margin find out what was going on at the same time In Europe.
