Story Voyages Through History 1750–1899

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ben Shannon. Nine chronological sections provide snapshots of life in early America. Short fictional narratives are followed by historical information illuminating the issues raised in the tales, from religious freedom to slavery to children's rights. The narratives can be stilted, but they're a good hook for reluctant readers. Cartoon illustrations accompany the stories; archival photographs, illustrations, and maps are included in the history sections.
