Product Description

People are coming to America--all kinds of people. If you're European, you come in search of freedom or riches. If you're African, you come in chains. And what about the Indians, what is happening to them? Soon with the influx of so many people, thirteen unique colonies are born, each with its own story. Meet Pocahontas and John Smith in Jamestown. Join William Penn and the Quakers in Pennsylvania. Sit with the judges at the Salem witch trials. Hike over the mountains with Daniel Boone. And let Ben Franklin give you some salty advice in his Poor Richard's Almanac in this remarkable journey through the dynamic creation of what one day becomes the United States.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply wonderful way to learn American History, March 4, 2009
We've read two of the A History of US books now and love them. They 'make sense' to my 10 year old who has problems retaining information. She loves how the books integrate photos and small pieces of knowledge into the story as it unfolds.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good first read for my fourth grader., April 21, 2009
A good first read for my fourth grader. I wish I started him on this sooner. Beware thought that this book does not come with questions and answers. You have to buy a seperate book for quiz questions with answers.
