History of the United States in Words of One Syllable
Produced by Corbin Hunter
"History of the United States in Words of One Syllable" by Helen Wall Pierson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents a simplified narrative of key events and figures in American history, aiming to engage young readers through the use of one-syllable words. It covers significant milestones from the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus through to the early establishment of the United States. The opening of the book introduces the time before Columbus and explains the misconceptions people had about the world being flat. It describes the Indigenous peoples of America and their relationship with the land at the time. The narrative transitions into Columbus’ youth and his determination to sail west, culminating in his discovery of the New World. This portion establishes the context of European exploration and sets the stage for the colonization of America and the ensuing interactions with the Indigenous populations.
