Book Synopsis A Parody Outline of History by : Donald Ogden Smith

Download or read book A Parody Outline of History written by Donald Ogden Smith. This book was released on 2019-06-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. H. G. Wells, in his "Outline of History," was of necessity forced to omit the narration of many of the chief events in the history of these United States. Such omissions I have in this brief volume endeavored to supply. And as American history can possibly best be written by Americans and as we have among us no H. G. Wells, I have imagined an American history as written conjointly by a group of our most characteristic literary figures. Apologies are due the various authors whose style and, more particularly, whose Weltanschauung I have here attempted to reproduce; thanks are due The Bookman for permission to reprint such of these chapters as appeared in that publication. I give both freely. D. O. S.
