True Stories from America's Past
1770 to 1870

correct historical context, and a paragraph to describe what else was happening
during the period in which the story takes place. (This is in a box to make it
easy to find.) After each story are some suggested writing/journal activities,
some vocabulary or comprehension activities, some discussion activities, and
some related group activities. Each story also has a black and white
illustration. For ages 9 and up (or read it aloud to
younger students).
