Native People of North America for Kids - through the lives of their chiefs and heroes
A book about the native inhabitants of North America as represented by the most prominent figures of their history. This is traditional biography, accurately portraying the character and historical contribution of each figure, while keeping the narrative free of labels or interpretations that 'take sides.'The facts - words and actions of this book's heroes - are entirely enough to deliver a vivid picture of the difficult and often tragic history of the native North Americans since the arrival of the Europeans. No blameful tone or focus on victimhood at the expense of the perseverance, resourcefulness, commitment to their roots, and heroism of the native peoples, and their leaders.Our sources are mainly memoirs of the actual participants of the historical events described, plus early (mostly 19th-century) biographies, and some modern academic writings. I did not include facts that may be perceived by kids as gruesome or disturbing. I also avoided going into the details of historical battles, focusing rather on the human aspects - the people whose decisions resulted in war, peace, or change.Here is a list of the historical figures included in this book: Powhatan, Pocahontas, Opechancanough, Samoset, Massasoit, Squanto, King Philip, Pontiac, Sequoyah, Sacajawea, Tecumseh, Osceola, Sitting Bull, Chief JosephTo provide additional information about American Indian culture and history, the book offers paragraph-long explanations of related concepts and terms, such asmatrilineal societiesnative land ownershipuse of metalsarrival of horses in North Americabuffalodomestication of corn, sunflowers, tobacconative bread'three sisters' and native crop patch agriculturemedicine man / womanwampumpow-wowthe Trail of Tearsnative counting systemsnative ball games (lacrosse)native housesthe customs of burying the hatchet and coup countingand others.Like all books in this series, 'Native People of North America for Kids' is richly illustrated with reproductions of historical paintings and vintage photographs.

Second Chance Christmas
Are exceptions ever made for children who scream and throw fits right before Christmas ... right in front of Santa? Gifts and candy seem unlikely. Highly unlikely.As one of six children growing up on a small Michigan farm in the 1970s, author Janet Defever knew that hard work was part of life on a farm. Boys and girls were equally responsible for work in the barns and fields, but household chores fell only to the girls. The disparity made Defever bitter and resentful, but the grievances of an eleven-year-old were seldom entertained. She envied her friends in town who were allowed to play sports and join the Girl Scouts, but Mom was clear about the differences: Those were things for the town kids; we had work to do.It was five days before Christmas, and a request for the girls to do the dishes turned into a knock-down-drag-out between sisters - and was overheard by Santa himself. Gifts and candy seemed very unlikely.Second Chance Christmas is the true story of that Christmas in 1971 and the lesson that unfolded over the following year. Being accepted for exactly who you are will always be a greater gift than anything found beneath a Christmas tree. And sometimes, a tangible reminder of that unconditional acceptance shows up ... just when you need it the most.
Thrilling Adventures Among the Earl Settlers
"Probably the most restless people in the world are the Americans, and for this reason, they make the most troublesome prisoners. They will not settle down to inactivity under any wrong or oppression; they will not bear any burden meekly or tamely; nurtured in the lap of freedom, they chafe fearfully under any restraint; their liberty they will seek at any hazard-they pant for it as for the air they breathe; show them the remotest possibility of accomplishing their purpose, and no danger, no thousand dangers, will deter them from the attempt; destroyed they may be, but not subdued."Originally published in 1861, Warren Wildwood's Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers is a fun and fascinating foray into the period literature of America. Gripping tales from across America of harrowing encounters with Indians, Tories, and refugees fill the pages of this timeless collection of true stories from colonial, revolutionary, and antebellum times.

Rulers and Warrioresses
The Kingdom of Dahomey, a city-state in the early 1600s, became a powerful nation in West Africa two hundred years later. Its kings were known for their expansion plans and application of dualism, where all male roles had female counterparts. This gave rise to the strong influence of women as administrators, as well as elephant huntresses, palace guards, and finally, the famed warrioresses. Dahomey's kings relied on the fierce and fearless warrioresses, known as the agoji, to defend the nation until the end of the nineteenth century. King B矇hanzin and his elite agoji forces resisted French encroachment in the region until they were ultimately overpowered by the opponent's superior weapons. Dahomey became a French colony, but the contribution of the women defenders remains etched in national history.
