In the spring of 1607, an English ship landed at modern-day Virginia. The ship's passengers quickly built shelters and a fort. Their settlement, Jamestown, was the first permanent English colony in North America. This event marked the beginning of an important period in US history. Over the next 150 years, thousands of Europeans―men, women, and children―journeyed to North America. They came seeking wealth, religious freedom, or a fresh start in life. The thirteen colonies they created became the foundation for a new nation. Explore the history of each of the thirteen colonies. Track the important events and turning points in the creation of the United States.

Review:

"If your library is in need of books that provide a short, concise, summary of people and events in American history, this series may be just what you're looking for. Chapters are broken down with written historical information on top and a timeline repeating the history in a visual summary on the bottom of each page. Every chapter contains illustrations, a photo, painting, map, newspaper ad, etc. from the period discussed. Each book suggests a writing activity for students. The layout may be useful in teaching students how to summarize or choose essential facts when they read."―School Library Connection
