Reviews

[Jordi Polo Carres · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un video para niños sobre la historia de las 13 colonias britanicas en America y la guerra de independencia de estados unidos.

La historia de las colonias es interesante pero la mitad del libro se dedica a la guerra de independencia con muchos nombres de lugares y personas lo que lo hace bastante pesado.

[Darrell Keller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well written and it was quite entertaining to see the perspective of those who wrote history over 120 years ago. It was also interesting that most facts from 1898 confirm what we teach in US history classes today. I found myself repeatedly saying, "That's right" as I read through the histories. A good overview of colonial history that reads like a novel. I enjoyed it and you will, too.
