This Country Of Ours





greeneyes
Good reading,Kara Shallenberg is brilliant, but there are some mispronunciations with the Viking words. I would recommend this book as a children's guide to American history from the 800s AD to the 1600s. This is a superb book except for the old-fashioned language, I think they should record a modern version of this book.
GREAT JOB!





I like it so much! THANKS H.E. Marshal
