About this listen
Why did the Pilgrims and other settlers come to North America? How did American Indians react to white settlers on their land? How was North America changed by the colonists? The colonization of the New World led to major changes for both European colonists and the native peoples who already lived there. Using an inquiry-based approach, listeners will learn all about the historic changes that took place in the land and various people's lives at the beginning of Colonial America.

There’s no lack of books on American colonial life, but this one, part of the Questioning History series (4 titles), stands out for its up-front explanation that European invaders to this continent didn’t find an uninhabited land. The title also provides an unusual focus on how the groups that arrived weren’t monolithic, coming at different times, for different reasons, and not always agreeing with one another’s New World choices. Native views on colonial history, such as derision towards Thanksgiving, are also discussed, as are Native experiences with European diseases and deceit. Illustrations are the usual fare for books on the colonies, mostly stock color images of drawings or etchings depicting life in the early days of Virginia and elsewhere. Recommended for public and school library collections. (Henrietta Verma)
