From the Author:
Deciding to write this adaptation created a lot of consternation for me. There was the purist part of myself that recoiled in horror at the thought of touching a single word of a historic document. But it was the educator half of me that successfully argued (and believed) that introducing students at a young age to our historic source documents could lead to a lifelong love of history and involvement. But this isn’t easy to do. Most documents are inaccessible for a variety of reasons. How great would it be for students to read and live history at an early age, then delve even deeper as their understanding grew. I felt a "gateway" document was needed to make this happen. This is what educators do; they supply a lot of help at first, eventually removing help as the student gets more independent. So, hence this book: my need to find ways for my students, and students everywhere, to love American History as much as I do.
