| Publisher Description: This book contains a delightful collection of centennial rhymes written for children. It was first published in 1876. In producing this work, the author originally intended to induce a love of history in children. He hoped to show that people who lived in the past were not so very different from the ones who live today, and that there 'were boys and girls back then as well.' The rhymes of this collection include: "The Little Black-Eyed Rebel," "The Boston Boys," "The Ride of Jennie Mc'Neal," "Three Scenes of a Hero's Life," "The Parent's Farewell," "How Israel was Whipped," "Little Holden-Hair," "The Prize of the "Margaretta," "The Printer-Boy Tramp," etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author. |
