Before Columbus: The Americas of 1491

117 pp. | Atheneum | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-4900-8 $24.99
(3) 4-6 Based on the author's adult title 1491, this well-written adaptation strives to answer three questions: How did the ill-prepared Pilgrims survive? What were Native Americans' lives really like? And how did the indigenous peoples with their vast numbers leave the land mostly untouched? Eye-catching reproductions of paintings and drawings, crisp photographs, detailed maps, and thoughtful sidebars add to the appeal of this well-researched historical resource. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
