America Year 1 An Integrated American History Curriculum
The America series is a literature-based integrated American history curriculum. The children's books by Mr. Marshall and Mr. Manuel are used in year 1 to 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.
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).

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."
The Light in the Forest is used in weeks 5 and 6 of Land of the Pilgrim's Pride. |

By John Jenkins and Mark Weaver, Reconciliation Press
"Daniel Sweetwater is a sixteen-year-old Delaware Indian living with his preacher father among the Cherokee in 1838. He and father are forced to march with the last remnants of the Cherokee nation on a 1000-mile journey from their homes in Georgia to a reservation in the Oklahoma Territory.
"Beneath the Sky of an Angry God is the first book in the Discovery historical fiction series that follows the lives and adventures of young people over several generations. Like Daniel, they struggle to make their way in a growing and changing 19th-century America and to triumph amid the century-long spiritual conflicts that have shaped our nation past and present.
