Interesting narrator.

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

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!

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.
