Brackett came across this in the 'seventh or eighth grade' and became an Ancient History buff.
The book appears to be a general survey from early man to the rise of christianity.
Note that it is public domain.
Unread.

Interesting! It looks like Breasted was an Egyptologist (though this book as advertised covers a wider range). I wonder if this helps account for the Egypt-y stuff in Brackett's Mars?

Likely a possibly starting point for that, anyway.
ReplyDeleteP. C. Wren would certainly get you The Stellar Legion an The Dragon-Queen of Venus, anyway.
