Basic Skills: Caucasian Americans Workbook

The history, material culture, beliefs and aspirations of the people now collectively known as the "Caucasian Americans" have often been discussed, but rarely comprehended. Until now. The Basic Skills Caucasian Americans Workbook provides young readers with accurate accounts of the lives of the Caucasian Americans, who, long ago, roamed our land. Some were hostile, but many were friendly. Presented Scholastic-style--with delightful illustrations, word scrambles, and other fun exercises--and with chapters such as “Caucasian American Languages,” “Caucasian American Food Production,” and “Caucasian American Religions, Ceremonies, and Superstitions,” this educational workbook illuminates long-lost anthropological knowledge and is a fun read as well.
