, 1st edition
The legacy of the 13 colonies is an essential building block for elementary social studies students as they develop an understanding of their civic heritage. The Colonial era was a dynamic crucible of politics, human drama, revolution, and resolution, in which the formative principles of American culture and government were born. Here are fact-filled, visually compelling stories of the 13 colonies -- from settlement to statehood -- plus the intriguing, but pivotal story of the thwarted, though valiant, colonial effort at Roanoke. The mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke settlers was never resolved. This mystery of history is sure to engage young readers!
Adriaen Block claimed Connecticut for the Netherlands. Before the Europeans arrived, the indigenous people had called the place Quinnenhtukqut, which means Long River. In 1638, the Dutch purchased the area from the Quinnipiac Indians for an assortment of silverware, tools, and clothes. Connecticut's story from this barter purchase to the American Revolution is told here.
