Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children's Stories of American Progress When the United States first became a nation, they included only that portion of the country lying along the Atlantic coast between Maine and Florida, and almost entirely east of the Ohio. These States, called sometimes the old thirteen, made up the United States of America. All the great West beyond was quite unknown to most of the people, and the few travellers who had seen its vast prairies and great rivers, and lofty mo'untain chains, were regarded with almost as much respect and admiration as had been given to the early voyagers across the At lantic.
