America An Integrated Curriculum

The America series is a literature-based integrated American history curriculum.

Though written for grades 3 through 6, instructions are included for adding earlier and later grades. For example, secondary students would read the adult version of the Peter Marshall books.  This homeschool curriculum consists of three 11-week units studies that form a complete one-year curriculum (except math).

The children's books by Mr. Marshall and Mr. Manuel present American history in an easy-to-read story format with a Christian perspective. The unit study uses these popular books and adds more historical information, lessons, and activities to create a complete curriculum that includes: American history, geography, reading/vocabulary, Bible/life application, English grammar and writing, health, music and art, science, and a complete answer key.   Suggestions are also included for using the America series with younger and older home school students.

The Light in the Forest

Conrad Richter

"When John Cameron Butler was a child, he was captured in a raid on the Pennsylvania frontier and adopted by the great warrior Cuyloga. Renamed True Son, he came to think of himself as fully Indian. But eleven years later his tribe, the Lenni Lenape, has signed a treaty with the white men and agreed to return their captives, including fifteen-year-old True Son. Now he must go back to the family he has forgotten, whose language is no longer his, and whose ways of dress and behavior are as strange to him as the ways of the forest are to them. A beautifully written, sensitively told story of a white boy brought up by Indians, The Light in the Forest is a beloved American classic."
