The way Native Americans are written about in this book is straight up offensive. The reader is expected to, by default, be empathetic towards the colonists' ambitions and survival. It's disturbing how little there is from the viewpoint of the first people who called our continent home for thousands of years before white settlers came.
The rest is just ok. Feels like a laundry list of fun facts in paragraph form.

This book already has a major issue with disregarding the validity of Native American oral histories. If nobody wrote their history down as it happened, apparently it can't be discussed in this book? Starting with Vikings in the intro, talking about Pocahontas briefly. Research that purports to tell the story of all America's Women should include the women who lived here before white people arrived.
