Mace is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an introductory textbook aimed at educating young learners about American history, emphasizing key figures, events, and themes that shaped the United States. The book aims to engage students by presenting history as a series of struggles and achievements led by notable individuals. The opening of "A Beginner's History" sets the stage for an exploration of early exploration and discovery in the New World. Mace begins with the Norse explorer Leif Ericson, who is credited with reaching North America around A.D. 1000 and naming it Vinland due to the abundance of grapes. The narrative includes the subsequent voyages of other significant figures like Christopher Columbus, highlighting their ambitions and challenges as they sought new lands and treasures. Mace emphasizes that these early explorers’ quests were not merely about discovery but also about confronting difficult circumstances, laying a foundation for understanding American history's broader themes.
