Growing Up in a New World 1607 to 1775
When the Mayflower landed in the New World, many of its brave pioneers were children. Among those children were Samuel More's four children. He'd taken them from their mother, placed them onboard alone, and arranged for each child, ranging in age from four to eight, to receive land. They, and countless other children, struggled and worked to survive and build new lives in the wilderness of early America. What was it like to go to school in a one-room schoolhouse as George Washington did? How would it feel to cross an ocean in search of a new life? Journey back in time to find out.

Growing Up in a New World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I couldn't put this book down. I wish I'd had it when I taught history to elementary students. Brandon Miller's Growing Up In A New World fits the bill for presenting the history of the colonies in a clear, concise manner. Drawing on many primary sources, she unveils myths about the Puritans and delves into rules of discipline for children. From the importance of dancing, to indentured servitude, from the jobs of children to warnings against idleness and mischief, Miller explores daily life and paints a clear picture for her readers. This book is a great addendum for a History textbook or it can stand alone as a synopsis of the sixteen and seventeen hundreds before the states were united into America.
