| Summary | "The Story of the Thirteen Colonies" by H. A. Guerber is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This text serves as an educational introduction to American history, particularly focusing on the early settlements of the Thirteen Colonies and the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. The book aims to instill a sense of patriotism and knowledge of historical figures among children, sharing stories that illuminate the virtues and challenges faced during this formative period of American history. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the long and ancient history of the American continent, emphasizing its beauty and richness prior to the arrival of Europeans. It introduces readers to the native peoples, particularly focusing on the different tribes categorized as savage, barbarous, and half-civilized, describing their lifestyles, dwellings, and tools. The text illustrates how these tribes interacted with the land and with one another, highlighting their unique cultural aspects. The narrative then leads to the arrival of European explorers, setting the foundation for the subsequent chapters that will explore the colonization and development of the Thirteen Colonies.
