  • The Colony of New Jersey

    Susan Whitehurst, S Whitehurst

    Library Binding (PowerKids Press, Jan. 1, 2001)
    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!Nicknamed the "Cockpit of the Revolution" because so many important Revolutionary War battles were fought here, New Jersey has a fascinating history. The story of New Jersey spans from its time as home to a variety of Native American tribes to an area coveted by the Dutch, Swedes, and English, and finally to its modern-day status as the "Garden State."
