Gerald W. Johnson (1) (1890–1980)

Written for 5th to 6th grade. Includes index and some B&W scracthboard illustrations by Fisher.

A history of the United States from the adoption of the Constitution to the brink of World War I, concentrating on outstanding events and great men.

A history of the United States (and a bit about Canada as well), from Columbus to the end of the American Revolution, and written for what we now call Middle Grade kiddos. For being written in the 1950's, it's honestly not too bad, although there are a few bits that are definitely dated. It's thorough without being dry, and that's an accomplishment in itself.

163. Woodrow Wilson The Unforgettable Figure Who Has Returned to Haunt Us, by Gerald W. Johnson (read 23 Nov 1944) When I read this book in November of 1944 I said it was a very good book, with excellent pictures, I also said to myself: "Sad, of course, as all about Wilson is."
