10 Volume tale of America

A History of US


Open one of these beautifully illustrated books and you'll see, this is American history as it's not usually presented.  You'll meet nasty King John, who had to deal with habeas corpus (and you'll learn what those words mean); you'll strategize with William Johnson (a British/Mohawk Indian hero); and you'll fight with some revolutionary men and women. History is filled with adventures and stories--that all happen to be true. History dull? Not in these books.

Freedom: A History of US

Beginning with a petition from a group of black parents who want their children to go to public school, this book deals with American freedom; how the idea came to be, how we've come from a nation that condoned slavery in its founding document to where we are today--here in the twenty-first century, and still a work in progress.
