This book tells thirty stories of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee,
and Kentucky--from early European exploration to the end of the Civil
War. Readers will be introduced to well-known characters, little-known
heroes, and events that changed history--from "How 'Old Glory' Got Its
Name" in Tennessee and "The Court-Martial of Daniel Boone" in Kentucky
to "The Invention of the Cotton Gin" in Georgia and "The Capture of
Aaron Burr" in Mississippi.
