 History of US (4): the New Nation, A

Author: Joy Hakim  Beginning with George Washington's inauguration and continuing into the nineteenth century, The New Nation tells the story of the remarkable challenges that the freshly formed United States faced. Thomas Jefferson's purchase of the Louisiana Territories (bought from France at a mere four cents an acre!), Lewis and Clark's daring expedition through this wilderness, the War of 1812 a.k.a. "Revolutionary War, Part II," Tecumseh's effort to form an Indian confederacy, the growth of Southern plantations, the beginning of the abolitionist movement, and the disgraceful Trail of Tears are just a few of the setbacks, sidetracks, and formidable tasks put in the new nation's path. Master storyteller Joy Hakim weaves these dramatic events and more into a seamless tale that's so exciting, how could it be true? But it is--it's A History of US.     Bazan Library Brook Hollow Library Carver Library Cody Library Collins Garden Library Cortez Library Forest Hills Library Great Northwest Library Johnston Library Memorial Library Oakwell Library Pan American Library San Antonio Central Library Thousand Oaks - El Sendero Library Westfall Library
