Product Description
A delightful narrative of American History!
Settle back with these stories of Americaโs years and watch your childrenโs eyes light up with interest and patriotism. Mr. Morrisโs narratives, originally published in 1901, make you feel as if you are listening to a kindly grandfather recounting tales from his past. And now additional chapters have been added to bring this history up to present day. Volume 2 presents stories from the Oregon Trail through the Information Age (about 1850โ2012).
