This article focuses on the book "A History of the United States of America, Including Some Important Facts Mostly Omitted in the Smaller Histories," by Josiah W. Leeds. Leeds's history of the United States is in refreshing contrast to the common run of school histories. Leeds has set before himself a different task, to write a history of the civilization of the country rather than its wars and political history. The book is well adapted to be a sequel or companion to a school history of the ordinary type, as containing much matter omitted in that class of books, and occupying a wholly different point of view.
