Colonial America was a fascinating period of history during which the colonists struggled to survive and adapt to a new land. This graphically illustrated set puts the story back in history. Even reluctant readers will be enticed to read on and find out more. The cast of characters is pulled from the pages of history, and a timeline at the end of each information-rich volume helps kids place the stories in a historical context. Included are stories of the first landing of the Mayflower to the first Thanksgiving and even the Salem witch trials.
