H. A. Guerber wrote narrative histories for grammar school children in the nineteenth century. Published in 1896 by the American Book Company, Guerber’s Historical Readers gave children their first introduction to history through the fascinating stories of the people who shaped our civilization. She wrote: “These stories will give a clear idea of the most important events that have taken place in the..world, and, it is hoped, will arouse a desire to read further. They also aim to enforce the lessons of perseverance, courage, patriotism, and virtue that are taught by the noble lives described.” Now Guerber’s histories are available for a new generation of children to build a biblical worldview and a rich vocabulary, while discovering the history of the ancient, classical, and Western world.
