A richly illustrated, foldout graphic history of the United States,
Canada, Mexico, and the islands of the Caribbean.
North American history unfolds in this graphic timeline that places
the United States, Canadian and Mexican/Caribbean histories in the
context of their continent.
- From healers in the Aleutian islands in 10,000 BCE to the first to
cultivate corn in 3,000 BCE in Mexico to Canadian scientists studying
butterfly migration in 1975.
- From the Aztecs of the city of Tenochtitlan to the Mississippians who
built Cahokia to the Inuit of the arctic and the Taino of the
Caribbean.
- Then there are Spanish, French, English, and other Europeans who
invaded in the 1500s, the enslaved Africans forcibly brought to our
shores, and millions more, from all around the world.
Ours is the story of creation and destruction, migration, exploration,
conquest, wars, alliances, trade, governments, railroads, mutinies,
panning for gold, invention, and art. It includes terrible injustices
and amazing movements toward equality and freedom, and so much more. So
unfold the book and immerse yourself in the vast tapestry that is North
American history.
