Summary "My Country, 'Tis of Thee!" by Willis Fletcher Johnson is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The work provides an expansive view of American history, tracing key events and figures from the Age of Discovery through the implications of the Columbian Exposition. It delves into various themes such as exploration, colonization, and the evolving status of society, particularly highlighting perspectives on women's contributions to American history. The beginning of this literary work introduces the concept of the Age of Discovery, beginning with Columbus's voyage in 1492. It discusses the various theories surrounding the discovery of America, including earlier potential voyages from Asia and Scandinavia, then dramatically transitions into Columbus's quest to explore the unknown western territories. Johnson sets the stage for an exploration of not just the voyages themselves but their significance in shaping the United States, providing a foundation for understanding the historical narratives that follow. The opening emphasizes the complexities of early maritime explorations, mythologized accounts, and the subsequent interactions between European settlers and Indigenous peoples.
