MONTGOMERY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ----------- 3 ----------- PREFATORY NOTE THIS little book is intended by the writer as an intro- duction to his larger work entitled The Leading Facts of American History. It is in no sense an abridgment of the larger history, but is practically an entirely new and distinct work. Its object is to present clearly and accurately those facts and principles in the lives of some of the chief founders and builders of America which would be of interest and value to pupils beginning the study of our history. Throughout the book great care has been taken to relate only such incidents and anecdotes as are believed to rest on unexceptionable authority. The words quoted literally in this book are enclosed in double quotation marks; those quoted in substance only are enclosed in single marks; while those attributed by the writer to different speakers have no marks. In this edition the paging has been changed, but the numbering of the paragraphs remains the same.. DAVID H. MONTGOMERY. ----------- 4 ----------- CONTENTS PAC I. COLUMBUS. II. JOHN CABOT. • III.
