Pennsylvania History Resources

Henner's LydiaIt is required to study Pennsylvania history if you home school in Pennsylvania. What better way can there be than through reading great books? These Pennsylvania history resources can help.

Benjamin West and His Cat GrimalkinIf you like the literature unit study approach for studying Pennsylvania history, then you will appreciate Susan Kemmerer's books. For grades 4 to 6 is the Pennsylvania Keystones unit study. Her Keystones 2 Curriculum is for the junior high and senior high student.

On the other hand if you prefer the textbook approach, then you should choose Guy Graybill's Explore Our Past for the elementary grades or Keystone, A History of Pennsylvania for middle school.

Invisible Empire

By John Jenkins and Mark Weaver, Reconciliation Press

"Josiah Washington, a sixteen-year old former slave longs to experience the true meaning of freedom in 1870's Philadelphia. An act of kindness sets Josiah at odds with Adam, the seventeen-year-old son of an influential white newspaperman who is secretly plotting to bring the Ku Klux Klan into the North.

"The Invisible Empire is the first book in the Century War Chronicles of Freedom Series. Josiah and Adam are but two in a line of young men and women who must struggle into adulthood and triumph through the century-long spiritual conflicts that have shaped our nation."
