A WORD TO THOSE WHO USE THIS BOOK

This A NSWER K EY to O UR P IONEERS AND P ATRIOTS has been meticulously worked out by a home-schooling mother with an eye to actual use of the text and to the elimination of any difficulties which may arise for those using the book.

Throughout the A NSWER K EY we have striven to give the Answers in the same words used by the text. In cases where the student is asked to give one fact about a person, place, etc., we have usually given several facts. Any one of these will be a correct Answer (and there might be other possible correct answers also).

Answers have been given in brief phrases, rather than complete sentences. Even in cases where an Answer happens to be a sentence, we have usually omitted the normal punctuationa capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end.

Those using O UR P IONEERS AND P ATRIOTS will notice that occasionally there is a Question which will present a difficulty, since one cannot find an Answer to it in that particular chapter (or sometimes, anywhere in the text). Since the text was already published when the A NSWER K EY was made, it was not possible to fix these Questions in the text, so our solution has been to note any such difficulties in the A NSWER K EY .

We suggest that, when giving an assignment, the teacher or homeschooling parent scan the A NSWER K EY for the words answer not in text (or something similar in italics) and then simply tell the student to omit that particular Questionor to look for the answer on the page cited. For examples, see page 5, no. 3 and the term Great Lakes on page 25. But on the whole, these problematical Questions are few.

For each chapter there is a section entitled Activities. Obviously, many of the Activitiessuch as drawing a map or giving an oral reportdo not call for an Answer, but whenever a short objective Answer can be given, we have provided one. The Character Studies will undoubtedly provide the most exercise for the students analytical powers, as he strives to translate the facts in the chapter into the terms honest, earnest, hardworking, etc. The Character Studies, in fact, were also the most challenging portion of the A NSWER K EY to compose.

The reader will note that in the text itselfO UR P IONEERS AND P ATRIOTS the chapters are not numbered. This is a minor inconvenience which we have tried to counter in the A NSWER K EY by marking chapter titles and page numbers very clearly.

With these very minor provisos, then, we present this A NSWER K EY , confident that it will be a tremendous help to the parents, teachers and students who will use O UR P IONEERS AND P ATRIOTS . We welcome any ideas for improvement of the A NSWER K EY , and we shall be happy to review them for possible use in any future editions.
