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.

A Great Literary History Resource,
By kayinpa (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Through the Ages (Paperback)
This book by Christine Miller is an excellent resource for history either as a main source or supplement. Mrs. Miller has done revised works of H. A. Guerber, this however is not one of them. "All Through the Ages" lists by chronological order and suggested reading age books about or that take place in just about every period of history. It is not inexhaustable but recommends some of the best books. I highly recommend this book for both homeschoolers, private schoolers and public schoolers!

An Amazing Resource,
By Suz (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All Through the Ages (Paperback)
As an eclectic homeschooling mom of 3 (11, 8, 6), I can't tell you how many hours I spent researching historical books that are accurate, engaging, and age-appropriate. No more! All Through the Ages has rendered all that work unnecessary. They have created a comprehensive list from some of the best resources, including Books Children Love, Honey for a Child's Heart, Greenleaf Press, Newbery Award books, and Great Books of Western Civilization, among others.
The lists are broken down into chronological history, geographical history, history of science and mathematics, history of the visual arts and music, and great books of Western civilization and the Christian tradition. Within each section, the lists are further broken down into resources for all ages, resources for 1-3 grade, 4-6 grade, etc. Each grade level then has categories for specific events, biographies, historical fiction, and literature. Each book is followed by a few words' description, and a notation indicating from which book list or publisher it was sourced. I love, love, love this book. I would part with 2/3 of my home library before I would give this one up. Maybe not even then. I only got this book a few weeks ago, and it's already saved me hours of research. Add a math program, and you've got your entire K-12 core curriculum. I highly recommend this book as the primary resource for any eclectic homeschooler pursuing a liberal arts education, and an excellent secondary resource for any other homeschooler, or really any parent, looking to supplement their child's education with some engaging, high-quality books.

The Ultimate History Resource Book,
By
This review is from: All Through the Ages (Paperback)
"All Through the Ages" by homeschooling mother, Christine Miller is a compilation of over 5,600 of the best living books and great literature on the topic of history. Within the introduction the author guides you on how to use the book, tips on teaching prehistory, creation, evolution, teaching history chronologically, using literature to teach history, history scope and sequence, and the use of real books in the elementary/secondary curriculum. The book then takes you on a tour of history beginning with chronological history, geographical history, history of science and mathematics, history of the visual arts and music and great books of western civilization and Christian tradition. In the back of the text there is a comprehensive index listing of the resources utilized in the book.
