From the Publisher:
People are coming to America-all kinds of people. If youre European, you come in search of freedom or riches. If youre African, you come in chains. And what about the Indians, what is happening to them? Soon thirteen 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 mountains with Daniel Boone. And let Ben Franklin give you some salty advice in his Poor Richards Almanac.
About the Author:
Joy Hakim is a former teacher, newspaper writer, and editor. She developed A History of US in the classroom, using children as her editors. She didn't expect to get letters from children about the books, but she has a file bulging with their letters-which she calls "an added bonus!"
