History for the Junior High!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
There is not a book of Albert Marrins that I have yet to read without falling in love all over with the Man! He does such a great job of making history real and relevant without boring any reader-junior high to adult! I wish he would complete a history of the US so that all textbooks could be banned and kids would learn to love history!

Great summary of English and world history in the 1500s. Interesting eyewitness account of the early slave trade.
