LITTLE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES (PB) (NEW)

Beginning with the first contact between the old world and the new over 500 years ago, this Little History moves from the first European explorers and slave-owning farmers, to the Declaration of Independence and the Civil War, to the Great Depression and the wars of the twentieth century. A fast-paced, character-filled history filled with individual stories including those of founding father Benjamin Franklin, the Hunkpapa Lakota leader Sitting Bull, the abolitionist Harriet Tubman and civil rights activist Rosa Parks.
