Interesting narrator.

The narrator pronounced ecosystem like “echosystem”. I have never heard that pronunciation before. That's it.

short and very informative

Tgey really dont teach us enough in school. this book is so informative and changed my perspective of american history. stephen mclaughlin is an excellent narrator for non fiction.

Wow! Truth telling

This was a wonderful book shared with my daughters for homeschooling. We were all shocked by the story told here and fascinated by this truth telling. I do wish more children and ASHA access to true history. This book has sparked in interest where the once was none.

Good book for starting your journey into history of America's

Has some editing to do and not call them Indians but otherwise enjoyed. Great way to start my journal into the history of the Americas.

Fantastic...

Easy to understand, but in depth enough to capture the interest of someone who is a bit of a Native American fanatical. For example, I never knew that it was likely a form of hepatitis that infected the east coast of the US, in the 1600's, I enjoyed the countless tidbits of information like this, and the flow in which the narrator, and of course, the writer, get the facts out, in story form!

Surprisingly fantastic.

This is supposedly written for middle graders, but I found it right up my alley. I thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson presented in such a delightful way. Extremely well done

informative

It is kind of a short and broad overview of the pre-european americas. That being said, I did get alot of new information on the way the lived and theories about their ways of life that I hadn't considered before, and I've done alot of research on ancient civilizations. Definitely worth a listen.

Very interesting

My son and I enjoyed listening to this book during our homeschool, while learning about early North American history. We learned many new things about the early Native Americans, as well as the devastation of North America due to early European settlers.

fascinating

a brief overview of what the Americas were like before the Europeans came to change it all. very different from what was taught in school

Great information, great length.

Great information, great length, I just wish my kids were more interested. I tried to order the book so they could follow along but, it was on too long of a back order unfortunately. I would highly recommend getting the book to follow along with if you are able.
