Free Classic E-books- Early American History

Here are four classic books about early American History.

Homeschool Freebie of the Day has another classic e-book download for us today.
Originally published in 1910, "Mary of Plymouth: A Story of the Pilgrim Settlement" by James Otis, is a story about the pilgrims and Plymouth Colony as told by a young pilgrim girl.
Available today only.

"The Founding of New England" by American writer and historian James Truslow Adams, was originally published in 1921 and won a Pulitzer Prize for History.

"Historic Deeds of Danger and Daring" by Herbert G. Smith, B. J. Fernie and R. S. Blair, tells the stories of Henry Hudson, Myles Standish, Daniel Boone and many more. This was originally published in 1906.

"The Women Who Came in the Mayflower" by Annie Russell Marble, is a memorial to the pilgrim women of Plymouth Colony and reveals glimpses of the communal life during 1621-1623.
This book was originally published in 1920.

Homeschool/Educational Freebies- English Language Humour

Here are three humorous, classic books about the English language and ways it's been misused, twisted and translated. Funny stuff. :)

Homeschool Freebie of the Day gives us "English As She Wuz Wrote", a collection of mangles and mishaps of the English language taken from old advertisements, tombstones, correspondence and other sources, published anonymously in the late 1800's.
Get this free e-book today only.

"English as She is Spoke", written by José da Fonseca and Pedro Carolino in the 19th century, was intended as a Portuguese-English conversation guide. It is believed neither author could speak English and that they used a French-English dictionary to translate an earlier Portuguese-French phrase book, resulting in many English "figures of speech" and "sayings" becoming mangled in the translation. One example from the book: "the walls have ears" is translated into "the walls have hearsay".
We have some funny sayings in English but these are ridiculous!

"English as She is Taught: Genuine Answers to Examination Questions in Our Public Schools"
by Caroline Bigelow Le Row, is a treasury of real test answers collected in the late 1800's. Published under the sponsorship of Mark Twain.
Very amusing read.

Daniel Boone Free E-books

Daniel Boone was born in a log farmhouse east of Reading Pennsylvania on November 2, 1734.


Here are some free e-books for learning more about this great American frontiersman.

"Life and Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon: The First White Settler of the State of Kentucky",
by John Filson was originally published on Daniel Boone's 50th birthday and claimed to be written in Boone's own words. It was actually written by John Filson, though Boone, himself, noted every word to be true.

"Biographical Memoir of Daniel Boone, the First Settler of Kentucky" by Timothy Flint, is another biography of Daniel Boone, although greatly exaggerated. This book is where the tall tales about Boone come from.

William Henry Bogart chronicled much of Boone's life in "Daniel Boone and the Hunters of Kentucky", originally published in 1854.

The "Boys' Book of Frontier Fighters", by Edwin Legrand Sabin, was originally published in 1919 and contains tales of Daniel Boone, Buffalo Bill, Kit Carson and many other famous frontiersmen.

"Indian Tales for Boys , or The Back-woodsman and True Stories of the Frontier", by Walter Whipple Spooner, is another adventure book written for boys, published in 1883. It contains many stories about Daniel Boone and other frontiersmen in our nation's early Western history.
