REGIONS OF NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE

THE BUFFALO AND THE INDIANS by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent

Countless herds of majestic buffalo once roamed across the plains and prairies of North America.

The author discusses how European settlers slaughtered the buffalo almost

to extinction, breaking the back of Indian cultures.

She shows how today, as Indians are reviving their cultures, they are also restoring buffalo herds to the land.

This book, with great photos, is an inspiring tale for students

to absorb and enjoy.

EXPLORERS map

in a new light!

WHO WAS FIRST? DISCOVERING THE AMERICAS

by Russell Freedman

In recent years scholars have shown us that adventurers, explorers,

traders, and nomads from various parts of the globe set foot on

American soil long before 1492.

Expeditions that landed in the Americas reported people already living there—

indicating that America had been “discovered” before.

Help stimulate studentcuriosity with these new theories!

Three acclaimed books to use when teaching with our WORLD EXPLORERS map!

DESPITE ALL OBSTACLES: LASALLE AND THE CONQUEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI by Joan Elizabeth Goodman

La Salle made his way from Eastern Canada to the Great Lakes traveling by canoe down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. This vast unexplored wilderness was controlled by the fierce Iroquois. Through one setback after another, La Salle kept on going. Part adventure, part biography, this book is the fascinating story of this stubborn and courageous man who had dreams as large as the continent. Full color illustrations and a useful map!

THE LAST RIVER: JOHN WESLEY POWELL & THE COLORADO RIVER EXPLORING EXPEDITION by Stuart WaldmanThis book is an inspiring adventure that brings history to life.

Excerpts from journals of crew members personalize the gripping text. Original paintings and a fold-out map allows the reader to simultaneously follow the expedition's route and its adventures.

MAGELLAN’S WORLD

by Stuart Waldman

Magellan left Portugal to lead an expedition for his country's bitter rival, Spain. He knew it would be a dangerous voyage, but the reality proved much worse: killer storms, mutinies, deadly battles, murders, deprivation and disease dogged the four-year journey. Magellan's World is the story of a harrowing adventure, an inspiring and flawed hero, and an epic event in the history of the world.
