A History of US: The First Americans Prehistory-1600A History of US Book One

Thousands of years, long before Christopher Columbus set sail, wandering tribes of hunters made their way across the Bering land bridge to North America. They didn't know it, but they had discovered a New World. The First Americans is a fascinating re creation of pre Columbian Native Americanlife, and it's an adventure of a lifetime! Hunt seals with the Inuit; harvest corn on a cliff top mesa; hunt the mighty buffalo; and set sail with Leif Erickson, Columbus, and all the early great explorers Cabot, Balboa, Ponce de Leon, Cortes, Henry the Navigator, and more in this brilliantly toldstory of America before it was America.
