Excerpt from The New Century History of the United States

The preparation of this book was the last literary work that Edward Eggleston undertook. He was convinced that there was a peculiar need of such a book in all our schools, and it was a matter of special concern to him to supply it.

His purpose was to tell the story of our country so briefly that it might be mastered within the limited time allowed for its study in the schools, and yet to preserve the interest of the narrative unimpaired by too severe a condensation.

Especially he wished to preserve and to present those facts with respect to life conditions at various periods which he held to be even more essential to the history of a people than is the record of public events.

To no other of his books did he give a greater or a more conscientious care than to this. In no other did he feel a deeper interest, or an interest more completely unselfish.

He had finished the manuscript, in its first draft, when increasing infirmity of health compelled him to cease work forever. There was yet a good deal to be done upon the book in the way of revision and otherwise, in order to make it what he wanted it to be.
