4.0 out of 5 stars Great Recource For New Hampshire Information, May 31, 2000

This review is from: The New Hampshire Colony (Thirteen Colonies (Lucent)) (Library Binding)

I used this book to help me with a Social Studies prodject onThe Colony of New Hampshire, and found the book very helpful. Thisbook covers all topics, including some of the government, and lots of information on the natives in this area. Fradin focuses on the natives and their culture before the English settlers came over. Even their forms of houses and how they got their food. She also gives information about when the settlers came over, and the founder of the actual colony. It tells you what the religion was like and how the church was treated and repected by colony members. This is also a good refrence on how the natives and English got along in New Hampshire, in the 1600's, what the natives helped the English with , and how the English helped the natives. It describes how the settlers grew their food, and what they grew, and others information on regular household life. All in all I found this book very helpful, and I urge others interested in Nw Hampshires founding to read it.

This review is from: The New Hampshire Colony (Thirteen Colonies (Lucent)) (Library Binding)

This textbook describes New Hampshire during the colonial period, and is divided into chapters about the region's aborigines, early settlement, conflicts, the revolutionary war and statehood. Many line drawings, photographs, maps, sidebars, biographical sketches and facsimiles of historical documents are included, and the material is dense while still geared toward the interests of its target audience, such as what food was eaten, what kids' lives were like, etc.

I learned quite a bit while reading this, and will use this as a reference for regional information. The cover and binding are sturdy.
