VOL. IV 



TALES OF DISCOVERY ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE 

 By MARGARET GRAHAM HOOD 



For Third and Fourth Grades 



The Tale of History could not be more charmingly told than it is in 

 this volume, which is intended for the lower grades. A Third or 

 Fourth Grade pupil will read it easily, and with interest. Its eight 

 chapters are devoted to the early history of our great Western 

 empire, and tell of characters and events, but little touched upon by 

 the general school history. The child here acquires a taste that 

 leads him to further research.

 thoroughly familiar with the people and their customs. Its thirty-

 reading like a story book. The chapters on The Yosemite Valley, 

 The San Francisco Bay and The Colorado River in themselves alone 

 warrant the purchase of the book.
