Abstract:
In 1815, public schools taught state geography and history interchangeably, the two subjects not yet distinguished as independent topics. Teachers would have used one of three textbooks: Guthrie's \"A New Geographical, Historical, and Commercial Grammar and the Present State of the Several Kingdoms of the World\"; Morse's \"Geography Made Easy, Being an Abridgement of the American Universal Geography\"; or Adams' \"Geography, or A Description of the World in Three Parts.\" These texts were chosen to discuss how geography was presented to school children in the early 19th century and the development and curriculum changes a century later.
