Adventures on the American Frontiers

A classroom library adventure shelf of 20 exciting American history volumes for youngsters in grades 3 to 5.

Each book takes a biographical approach to a different aspect of American history. These are not cut and dry accounts, rather they are exciting history-based stories of real people in real situations. Each book gives its young readers an historically correct picture of the men and women who made America.

Adventures on the American frontiers provides both reading and social studies enrichment, and is perfect for those school programs seeking materials for interdisciplinary instruction.

The books are printed on acid-free, recycled paper using vegetable-based inks. Each has been formatted for the elementary reader with open spacing and clear artwork. Drawings appropriately illustrate the stories, and the final volume, Space: The Race To The Moon is documented with many full-color photographs.
